El Rancho Pinoso, nestled within the breathtaking Blanco Basin of southern Colorado, offers a serene escape amidst 863 acres of stunning countryside. Framed by majestic 12,000-foot granite peaks, the ranch embodies the timeless spirit of the West. The open basin area, bathed in abundant sunshine, provides a haven for stately ponderosa pines, fresh air, and hummingbirds. Our two cabins, the Cowboy House and Log Cabin, are situated on a manicured lawn adjacent to rustic barns and corrals, ensuring guests enjoy a private and tranquil experience.
The meandering Rio Blanco, a tributary of the San Juan River, winds through the heart of El Rancho Pinoso for three miles, serving as a focal point. Its waters boast healthy populations of large and vibrant Brown, Brook, and Rainbow trout, and are teeming with deep pools and shallow riffles, creating an angler’s paradise.
If this fly-fishing destination isn’t already on your radar, it should be. The Lindner Ranches offer 10.5 miles of expertly restored private river, teeming with an abundance of quality trout. The fishing program centers around three distinct walk-and-wade private systems: the Rio Blanco River, the East Fork of the Piedra, and the Weminuche Creek.
