MAJESTIC MEASURES

John Muir said, “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” Had the renowned naturalist experienced the wonder and peace of C Lazy U Ranch, he might have added “and make sure a few of them are snow.”

The ranch, a buzzing beehive in summer, transforms into a gleaming white tablecloth set with adventures once the first snow sticks in December and the ice-skating pond freezes solid. The all-day summer kids camp and the nightly cookouts yield to family (or romantic) sleigh rides and leisurely meals; tubing and snowshoeing replace swimming and hiking.

The morning and afternoon “jingles” remain, however, and the backdrop enhances the beauty of what many visitors consider to be the star attraction at C Lazy U: a herd of 200 horses, storming into the corral in the morning and racing out to snowy pastures at night.
