Hello Serenity, Goodbye Cell Service
Amidst the towering peaks and endless forests of the Rocky Mountains, cell range is intermittent. Expect to lose cell service once you leave the town limits of Estes Park.
Lost Antler Ranch is setup with wireless internet in buildings across the property. If you need to make any phone calls during your stay, enable Wi-Fi for calling in your phone’s settings, or use a communication app such as Facetime or Google Hangout.
Life at 7,500 Feet
Lost Antler Ranch is nestled high in the mountains at around 7,500 feet, so prepare for the altitude:
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your stay.
If you’re especially susceptible to altitude sickness, take ginkgo biloba one week prior to your arrival.
Bring a sunscreen with a high SPF as UV rays are stronger at greater elevations.
