Sitting north east of Alamosa, bordering the Great Sand Dunes National Park and with free-roaming wild bison and cattle, Zapata is a true working ranch. Guests can get as involved as they want to in the daily ranch work, herding bison and cattle, working in the leather shop, fixing fences and monitoring the herd's health. Everything is delivered in the most relaxed atmosphere with meals produced "family style" and staff and guests mixing like one big happy family.
On the dude ranch, ride with a 2,000 head bison herd through meadows and grasslands, with plenty of freedom while improving your horsemanship skills in this working ranch environment. Get involved in the day to day running of the ranch, moving livestock, general ranch work and learn about their holistic management practices. Ride through and explore the Great Sand Dunes National Park, home to the tallest inland dunes in North America.
