Come experience the Old West as it was and still is as you meander along the road through working ranches that were homesteaded back in the early 1900’s…their weathered log cabins still standing and often still occupied…others are close enough for a great “back in time” photo opportunity. As Colorado’s open range law permits ranchers to graze their cattle without borders, you will often find them on the roadways or you may even get caught up in a cattle drive as the ranchers move their cattle from one pasture or paddock to another. Springtime brings all the calves and branding time! Observing the rancher, his horse, and dog working together is a genuine treat. Look along the roadside for sage grouse, in the open fields for pronghorn, down in the willows and streams for the bull moose, in the trees for the mule deer, and on top of the ridge lines for the elk. There are also bald eagle and osprey nests, alpacas, horses, sheep, and goats. All this just on the ride into Williams Fork Lodging!
Our residence sits above this scenic panorama at the end of the road and adjacent to public lands tucked beneath Copper Peak on the Williams Fork Range. The elevation is roughly 8,500 feet and the 180-degree view is breathtaking…encompassing three mountain ranges, many peaks, pastures/meadows, forest, and ponds.

Soak in everything from the glorious sunrises to enchanting full moons to brilliant stars that truly seem closer than they are…the view of the Milky Way is unobstructed by light pollution for outstanding celestial shows…and meteor showers are spectacular from the hot tub!

Birds singing, chickens crowing and warm, quiet evenings are welcomed in summer.
