Stretching along Highway 13 for nearly 10 miles, the semi-flat, sub-irrigated bottoms rise into deep draws loaded with turkey, elk and deer. As you reach the top at an average elevation between 8200-8600 feet, the land consists of dark timber-covered ridges with bottoms that are lined with wet lush bottoms along Cow Creek. The slopes of each ridge are full of oak brush with thick timber pockets dispersed throughout the open meadows, providing diverse habitat for the many species of wildlife this ranch is home to! The open-country among the tops of the ridges provide excellent vantage points of the lower elevations and different land formations in the distance.

Excellent main interior roads that meander all the way to the top of the ranch and throughout the parameters are directly off County Road 5 and Highway 13 depending on the parcel.

County Road 5 and Highway 13 provide access to the lower portions of the ranch year-round.
