It’s not every day we see a herd of cattle wandering through the community, but that’s exactly what happened on Perry Ridge Road last week. A group of cows made their way into the neighborhood through a hole in the fence separating us from the adjacent ranch. Thanks to resident Pat Guerra who not only shared these photos but also helped guide the cattle back, and to homeowner Monte Moses, who was also quick to lend a hand in wrangling the herd safely home. We appreciate you both!

Just another reminder of what makes life in our mountain town so unique!

We would love to feature your photo in an upcoming mailing. If you're interested in having your photo highlighted in the weekly news, please submit images to: jessica.hennessy@rvrma.org.

The Naughty Knitters have returned to the Ranch House for the summer. All hand crafters, those who knit, crochet, embroider, cross-stitch, etc. are welcome to join the group from 3 - 4:30 p.m. every Tuesday.

We know that many dogs love to meet and greet people and other dogs when they are out for a walk. It's important to keep in mind that there are folks in the neighborhood, for a variety of reasons, that cannot or would rather not, socialize with dogs. Some dogs that you come across on the walking trail may also be nervous or anxious around others. Dog owners can help eliminate this potential fear and uneasiness by clearly and respectfully using a dog leash.

We appreciate your efforts towards courteous pet ownership and helping to preserve the peaceful enjoyment of River Valley Ranch!

And don’t forget — Carbondale’s leash laws apply in RVR.

With summer fast approaching and with more members bringing guests to enjoy the pool and hang out at the Ranch House, we kindly ask that you please keep these important rules in mind when checking in your visitors:

If you are unable to accompany your guest be sure to give the front desk a call for each day they will be visiting the Ranch House at 970.963.6300.

Members are responsible for the conduct and safety of minor-aged guests who are at the Ranch House, even if the child is old enough to use the facility without adult supervision (12 years old).

Each membership may check in up to 8 guests per day.

The daily guest fee is $9.00 for adults and $7.00 for children. Read more about the guest policy in the Rules and Regulations document by clicking here (pg.4).
