Description: Experience the tranquility and solitude of a ranch located on the high plains with a clear view of the entire Rocky Mountain front range. This working ranch is nestled in towering Ponderosa Pines on a high ridge located approximately 15 miles northeast of Kiowa. This pristine area is a great setting for artists and writers as well as those of us who thrill at the sight of wildlife, a star-filled sky, or the dying embers of the evening campfire. Birdlife is likely to include breeding Cassin's Kingbird, Black-headed Grosbeak, Western Tanager, Lazuli Bunting and many prairie birds.
