The ranch is bordered on three sides by U.S. National Forest Service lands with 1.5 miles of riverfront along the Dolores River where the owners have done extensive riparian restoration and wetlands creation for nature's benefit. An additional 320 acres encompass the historic Stoner Ranch Ski Area 1948 - 1984 where the northern slopes remain open for skinning and the rest of the acreage is devoted to grazing cattle. A perfect blend of outdoor recreation and a working ranch, Stoner Ranch is the quintessential Colorado experience. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | “Stoner Ranch is a place, an idea and a way of thinking,” says Don McLean, Founder ofStoner Ranch & Co. “It’s a place with wild roots and unrestricted thinking; it’s wide openspaces and open minded.

The agency hit the mark and was awarded the Art Directors Club of Denver 2014 Logo Development Award for the Stoner Ranch logo. "The use of the bear in the logo really defines who we are," says Mclean of Stoner Ranch. “The bear gives us permission to engage in unrestrained thinking. The pipe is a reminder to be deliberate, to take our time, and to remember we’re not revolutionary or radical. That our ideas may differ from the status quo, but they are always grounded in thoughtfulness and sensibility.” | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | In launching Stoner Ranch & Co.’s brand new [website](http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=70545129&msgid=1900926&act=PEAS&c=607027&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stonerranch.co%2F&ref=foodconsumer.org), the company features a line of high-quality, Econscious and American Apparel shirts, hats and hoodies as well as commemorative coffee mugs and pint glasses. | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f5/c2/f5c28c07-f2c7-440d-8161-125a09d9bc91/content/images/2026/08/460be4353028fe469ca551cef34e7d3178275e36.jpg)](http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=70545129&msgid=1900926&act=PEAS&c=607027&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fstonerranch.co%2F&ref=foodconsumer.org) | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Support, wear and share Stoner Ranch & Co. products.
