While standing at the center of the ranch, a sense of peace and remoteness that hides the fact that you are a mere 10 minutes from a tasty breakfast burrito or burger at the General Store or 15 minutes from the quaint shops, restaurants, bowling alley, grocery store, and nostalgic theater in Westcliffe. Just over 30 minutes in the car can find you in the historic and charming towns of Salida and Canon City.
