Just a reminder that the blog won’t be updated over the weekend, so please check back Monday morning for a recap of all the weekend activities! Over the next two days, the students will be taking a break from work projects and have a chance to ride the horses.  They also get to sleep in and just have some fun!

Its been a very happy day at the Ranch! The students got their hands dirty cleaning up the barn and the stables! Its hard to call it work when you having this much fun (not to mention having this view!). Look below to see what they students have been up to!

OFY San Juan made it to the Ranch! The students were amazing on the flight and the van ride up into the mountains! Everyone is super excited to be here and we couldn’t ask for better weather! They have been having fun getting to know each other and the Ranch staff! Here are some pictures of our trip so far! We are looking forward to all the fun activities that Pathways has planned! Cheers to a great week and a half of Ranch living!

If you look right below the two highest peaks, that’s where we are living for the next 10 days!

We didn’t waste anytime getting to know each other!

The students have left the Ranch and are currently headed to the airport. Here are some of the remaining photos from their fantastic trip!

Thursday started with a final hike, and a some good-byes to the landscape.

After the hike and breakfast, the students did final work projects and had one last visit to the barn.

Thank you to our chaperones: Brian, Brandon, and Darren! Pictured below are Brandon and Darren taking a goat selfie!

We truly enjoyed having this group of students at the Ranch. Best of luck and hope to see y’all in the future! Happy Trails!

Today we left the Ranch for a day trip into Denver.  We visited a college there and got a glimpse of campus life!

Another gorgeous day here in the Rockies!

We spent time outside…

We also spent time in the kitchen baking…

And we spent a little time cleaning up after ourselves.

Everyone is still having a great time at the Ranch and enjoying spring in the Rockies.  We are beginning to realize our trip is coming to a close very soon and have mixed emotions.  It will be great to see all the family and friends we have missed, but we will then in turn miss those we met at the Ranch. Good thing we still have a few days left before saying good-bye!

Our day was filled with work projects! We helped out in the kitchen, at the barn and worked to made the Ranch beautiful.

It was a beautiful weekend at the Ranch! Here is a glimpse at all the fun we had and activities we enjoyed!
