The best description of location, often used, is that the valley is the next valley north of the Yampa valley where the highly developed area and town of Steamboat Springs is located.

Steamboat Springs, Colorado with its ski slopes and recreational amenities is only an hour and one half from Baggs. Just across the road from the ranch is a 7,000 ft. paved and lighted airport and a large equestrian facility with indoor barn, roping and rodeo arena used and available to area residents. DESCRIPTION: The Little Snake joins the ranch on its southern boundary. The ranch has fine views of nearby mountains.

The lower portion of the ranch is river bottom with cottonwood trees and hay meadows. WATER: Irrigation water is provided by the First Mesa Ditch Company, in which the ranch holds 200 shares.
