RANCH LOCATION

The ranch is located about 50 miles southwest of Denver and about 1.5 hours from the Denver airport. We are truly high in the heart of the Rockies with the snow-capped peaks of the Continental Divide within riding distance to the west, and Mt. Evans to the east. Pikes Peak can often be seen to the south.

We are surrounded by Pike National Forest with many of the highest peaks in the Rockies. There are literally millions of acres of secluded, unspoiled country to enjoy; alpine meadows colored with wildflowers, cascading streams and deep blue mountain lakes far from any sign of civilization.

The seclusion of the ranch has helped nature preserve its wildlife. Elk and deer abound and our herd of Bighorn sheep is one of the best on this continent. Mountain goats, bear and mountain lion also live in our high country. And the beaver are plentiful.

Twenty miles to the north is historic Georgetown which a century ago became known as the Silver Queen -- the silver mining capital of the Rockies. Its old homes and stores are extremely well preserved.

If you plan to fly to Denver, it's an easy drive in a rental car or we can arrange to have a ranch vehicle waiting for you at the airport. If you are driving to the ranch, call or write us and we'll help plan your route here and back. We are anxious to help.
