A rustic ranch venue in the heart of the Elk Mountains.

Darien Ranch

Established in 1938, the ranch has been in the family for generations, and is still an active livestock ranch.

The Darien Ranch has been in the family since 1938 when it was purchased from the Osgood estate.  The beautiful Crystal River flows through the Ranch, where fish abound.  Fly fishing, catch and release, is allowed for the wedding parties enjoyment.  The Crystal River Railroad transported marble blocks, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Lincoln Memorial and many others, from the quarries near Marble through the Ranch.  Marble blocks can still be seen on the Ranch along the old railroad grade.
