Wilderness Weber Canyon Ranch is already the trail head for many horseback riding trips, but soon will be what Anne Rapp calls a combination between an up-scale hostel and a rustic bed and breakfast.

Jerry and Anne Rapp operate the Wilderness Weber Canyon Ranch in Mancos which is the starting point for guided group horse rides through the Ute Mountain Tribal Park, with special permission from the tribal park, and also guided horse rides through the ranch. Soon, however, the ranch will be expanded to provide accommodations for their guests to stay overnight.

Anne Rapp said, "We’re developing it more into a ranch stay, but not a dude ranch. We don’t want any planned activities." Although the ranch will not have specific activities, those who stay at the Wilderness Weber Canyon Ranch will have access to horses. "We just want it to be a place for people who just want to get off the beaten path," she said. "We’re keeping everything as rustic as possible."
