Activities
A few summer activities to consider include:
• Farmers Market in the General Store parking lot every Tuesday and Saturday from 10am – 3pm
• Yoga and Barre classes on the lawn by Lakeside Activity Center (Vinyassa classes are Tuesdays at 8:30am and Thursdays at 4:30pm, and Barre classes are held on Fridays at 9:15am)
• There are 5 swimming pools on the Ranch.
o Glaze Meadow Recreation Center features an indoor lap pool, outdoor pool, wading pool and children’s “spray” ground. During the summer, guests at the Glaze Meadow pools can refuel with snacks and beverages at the Glaze Meadow Sports Shop. This is the most family friendly pool, in my opinion.
o Lakeside Pool has unbelievable views, shade from the hot summer sun, a poolside bar and a 16-person hot tub. Access is gained by using pin pad located in the entry hallway. Enter pin number followed by # sign.
o Upper Glaze Meadow Pool is the newest pool facility, situated among towering pines at the top of the Ranch. The pool features a “vortex” area for kids (and adults) and plenty of patio and grass for lounging.
o South Meadow Pool offers a quieter setting. Kick back amidst Ponderosa and Aspen tree-filled surroundings.
o Paulina Pool is located in a private area of the Ranch. Getting there can be an adventure in itself. There is no parking available, so you must walk, bike, or be dropped off. It is small and often “full” but it is an easy bike ride away from the cabin.
• Tennis courts are open and reservations are available the day before. Group lessons are also available.
• Dining at the Ranch is available in all capacities: indoor, outdoor, carryout, and pick up.
