Elk

TERRAIN/ACCESS

The property borders thousands of acres of both BLM and National Forest lands on all four sides. The terrain is rolling with many draws throughout the ranch. The property was burned in the 2002 Burn Canyon forest fire, which has created great feeding habitat for both small game and Big Game in the area. Access is off a gravel county road. The main road through the property is gravel, with a metal gate at the entrance.
