Getting to Three Forks Ranch

Plan an ultimate Colorado ranch vacation at our secluded yet conveniently positioned luxury resort. Three Forks Ranch is located in Hayden, Colorado, and Dixon, Wyoming. Because of its strategic location, guests may fly commercially into the Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN) or privately into the Dixon Wyoming Airport (DWX) located directly on the ranch. 

Upon your arrival at the airport, we will meet you and transport you to our ranch in first-class style. We have brand new shuttle vans, each outfitted with sophisticated leather seating and a satellite TV. There’s even a cooler filled with snacks and beverages for the trip. We also have plenty of cargo space for your luggage aboard the Three Forks Ranch Shuttle.

While we do not offer direct transportation to or from Denver International Airport, we still make it easy for you to reach our ranch from there. Our team is happy to arrange a shuttle bus between Steamboat Springs and Denver through Alpine Taxi. Let us know when you’ll arrive in advance so that we can schedule a pickup at the most convenient time for you.

You may also travel via your private vehicle and explore the scenic routes at your own pace. Here’s a detailed guide on how to reach our luxury ranch resort, either from Baggs, Wyoming, or Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the routes in advance and prepare your travel essentials to ensure a safe, enjoyable trip.

Getting to Three Forks Ranch From Baggs, WY

If your starting point is from the tranquil town of Baggs, Wyoming, the travel time to our resort is roughly an hour. Stick with our travel guide to reach our ranch in no time:

  • From Baggs, WY, turn onto Highway 70 toward Dixon, WY. Turn right at the Cowboy Inn.
  • Keep going on Highway 70, and you will drive through Dixon, WY, and Savery, WY.
  • Continue through Slater, CO, which only has a post office.
  • After approximately 2 miles, turn right onto Carbon County Road 710. You will see a metal sign for Three Forks Ranch.
  • This road eventually turns into dirt and becomes Routt County Road 129.
  • After about 12 miles, you’ll pass the Three Forks rock gates. Keep going another 2 miles, and you will see the main ranch gate on your left.
  • Stop and use the call box. We’ll let you in, and then you can drive to the Main Lodge and park under the porte-cochere.

Getting to Three Forks Ranch From Steamboat Springs, CO

Traveling from Steamboat Springs to our all-inclusive ranch in Colorado will take almost an hour and a half. Follow the steps below to arrive at the destination:

  • Go West on Hwy 40 through Steamboat to Elk River Road (Cty Road 129). You’ll know it’s the right one because of the Kum & Go gas station on the SW corner. Turn right (North) at that intersection.
