Harmel's Ranch Resort
Entering Harmels on the Taylor through our main gate is just the beginning of what we have to offer with our Almont, Colorado, accommodations. Our guest ranch is located just less than 30 minutes from Gunnison and Crested Butte with 100’s of miles of hiking and ATV trails. All of our facilities are available to guests staying here at the ranch.
Of all we have to offer our guests at our ranch in Colorado, the great outdoors is our most precious. There are many spots throughout the ranch that allow you to enjoy the scenery.
Enjoy the mountain setting and discover a sense of adventure with horseback riding trips through the wilderness, white water rafting in the flowing waters, nearby rock climbing down the canyon edges, or fly fishing in the award-winning stretch of Taylor River.
