National Forest lands join the northern border of the ranch and is the area where our 1300 plus head of yearling cattle spend most of the summer. The ranch elevation is approximately 7000 feet and the surrounding peaks soar to 10,000 feet. Guests and employees from all over the world join us every season for a unique, non-mainstream experience. Guest capacity: 22.
