Tip Top Ranch was originally founded by John O. Anderson.  Looking for a new way of life for his
family, John purchased the foreclosed mountain ranch for back taxes in the early 1950s.  In 1994
his grandson, Jeff Anderson alongside wife Cindy Anderson, opened the guest ranch to share the
joy and beauty of this scenic Rocky Mountain retreat with others.  Just outside of Fort Collins,
Colorado, it has become a regular destination for many dudes wishing to escape the hustle of
everyday life.  Guests can find rest, recuperation, and some adventure too.
Whether it is the excitement of an adrenaline rushing, on the edge
horseback ride or a laid back, read a book in a cozy cabin all day
adventure you seek, we have just the right vacation for you.
Our horses are gentle and well trained.  Some are
primarily for our smallest riders and some are more
suited for our more experienced dudes.  Our staff will
spend the time to make sure you are paired up with the
horse that is most suited to you and your personality.
Located at the top of Rist Canyon, this family owned
and operated working ranch spans a mountain range
and sits nestled between the foothills to the east
and Continental Divide to the west.  Pine forests,
rocky outcroppings, and rolling meadows give way to
the panoramic views of Rocky Mountain National
Park's Mummy Range, Poudre Canyon, Grey Rock,
Horsetooth Rock, and the high plains.  Wildlife is
abundant with deer, hawks, and, yes, even bears and
lions.  The coyotes will be glad to sing you to sleep or
give you an early morning wake-up call, if you desire
(or if you don't).
As for me and my horse, we serve The Lord...
