The Red Top Ranch is located in beautiful southeastern Colorado, just East of Pueblo. The land and climate are similar to New Mexico; it's not really desert, but it is dry, arid and has lots of big open spaces!!! This also means that it can get really hot during the day, and really cold at night. During the spring season, average temperatures range from low-60's to high-80's during the day, and low-20's to mid-40's at night.
