Colorado weather is beautiful, but can be unpredictable. We suggest guests always be prepared for any type of weather while visiting the ranch. While attending a Spruce Mountain wedding, plan on spending a portion of your time outdoors. In the summer months, bring a light sweater or jacket for the evening. Sunblock, sunglasses, umbrellas are also smart to have on hand. If you have allergies to grass, hay, dust, pollens, livestock, etc. you may want to bring medication to prevent a possible allergic reaction.

Can we pet the cows?

Unfortunately, we cannot allow anyone access to our pastures. Our mama cows are very protective of their young, and by nature will charge if they feel threatened. Startling the cattle can cause them injury. More importantly, we do not want our guests to get injured.
