It is easily accessed via year-round paved and gravel county roads. Scenic Routt County Road 129 follows the Elk River through the lush river valley meadows. Along the way is Clark, a small community with groceries, a post office, and a model K-8 public charter school. 10 minutes from the ranch is the town of Hahns Peak with restaurants, a convenience store and a marina at Steamboat Lake. This area of the county is known for beautiful, protected landscapes, and great year-round outdoor recreation.
This remarkable piece of land is bordered to the east by the majestic Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area; on the north by the wild and scenic Elk River; and on the west by cattle ranches that extend all the way to Sand Mountain, and thousands more acres of National Forest.
Cool summers are typical with maximum temperatures in the 80’s. Annual precipitation comes mostly in the form of snowfall, roughly 330 inches per year.
