Fourmile Area: Fourmile Ranch

The Fourmile Ranch trail travels FS 375C to the site of the old Fourmile Ranch homestead near Fourmile Creek. You can see several foundations where many of the old ranch buildings once stood. The ranch served as the headquarters for a 1,500 acre cattle operation at its peak. It was purchased as part of a larger land swap in the 1970s and as a result, was turned back into National Forest.
