Prior To Arrival
- Drinking plenty of water is the number one way to help your body adjust to our higher altitude. The low humidity in Colorado keeps the air dry like the desert, so you need about twice as much water here as you would drink at home. The C Lazy U supplies all guests with refillable water bottles to make sure you stay hydrated, but you can help yourself even more by hydrating properly prior to coming to the state.
- We’re up at 8,300 ft. so the effects of exercise are more intense here as well. As an example: if you normally run 10 miles a day at home, 6 miles will be the equivalent while you’re here.
Colorado Hunting Trips: A Packing List
- The fall at the C Lazy U is known for its vast climate changes:
- Sept: 15-30 degrees Fahrenheit at first light and sundown, 60-80 degrees during the day
- Oct: 0 – 30 degrees Fahrenheit at first light and sundown, 40-60 degrees during the day. Late Oct usually brings some snow.
- Nov: -10 – 20 degrees Fahrenheit at first light and at sundown, 30-50 degrees during the day. Expect snow.
- With the above said, we encourage that you bring layers with a day pack.

If you’re not here to hunt, there is still plenty to do at the ranch. Besides daily horseback riding—where you can brush up on skills to show off at the Shodeo – adults and kids can head outside for fly fishing, archery, trap shooting and tennis, or test their stamina and strength at the ropes course and zip line.
Even pampering yourself is possible on a hunting vacation, thanks to our award-winning Lazy You Spa.
