Cache la Poudre River
The Cache le Poudre Canyon and River was so named after an incident involving French trappers in the 1820s. A snowstorm forced them to bury their gunpowder along the banks of the river. The road through the canyon is a wild and scenic byway. The area offers exceptional fly fishing, white water rafting and kayaking.
Rawah Wilderness
"Rawah" is a native American term meaning "wild place." The Rawah Wilderness was designated by the Wilderness Act of 1964 and added to by the Colorado Wilderness Act of 1980. Its total size is 76,394 acres. Elevations in the Rawah Wilderness area range from 8,400 to 13,000 feet. The high peaks were carved by glaciers, resulting in spectacular cirque lakes and moraines. There are many lakes ranging in size, and this high alpine area contains the headwaters of the McIntyre, Rawah and Fall Creeks, and Laramie River. The area is popular for backpacking, hiking, and angling in the summer and also hunting in the fall.
Trail Access
The Medicine Bow Mountains, including the Rawah Wilderness and Colorado State Forest offer many trails for hiking and mountain biking, in addition to camping and fishing areas for day or pack trips away from the Ranch. The trails of the Scenic Poudre River Canyon are just a short drive away.
