Lloyd C. Lane

Lloyd C. Lane passed away peacefully on February 13, 2023, at the Peaks Care Center in Longmont, Colorado. He was 98 years old. Lloyd was born in St. Louis, MO. He studied philosophy and psychology at universities in Oklahoma, Hawaii and Colorado receiving his bachelor's degree. Lloyd also served in the army. Lloyd was terrifyingly smart on many subjects and read several newspapers a day. Lloyd loved travel, jazz and good food. He hated television, uniforms and any kind of meeting. He was unapologetically unconventional and a tireless optimist.

Lloyd was destined to have his own distinctive business. The Lane Guest Ranch first began as the Lane Boys and Girls Camp in 1953, while Lloyd was a student at the University of Colorado. The camp changed to the Lane Guest Ranch a decade later. The ranch was situated less than a half mile from Wild Basin in Rocky Mountain National Park. As the sole owner of the Lane Guest Ranch for 66 years, Lloyd left an indelible mark on the guest ranch business.
