UNSPOILED UNTAMED & UNTOUCHED The Flying X Ranch is not a Timeshare. For more than a century it has been private, carefully preserved by generations of homesteaders and now by the Flying X Ranch partnership owners. The purpose is not development, but to provide a private retreat for people who love the outdoors and support its preservation. It may be what you are looking for... a life long retreat for you and your family. It is an unspoiled, untamed wilderness virtually untouched by the rest of the world. Here the deer and the antelope still play. So do the Elk and eagles. Trout swim in lakes and streams. The land is almost exactly as it was when the U.S. Calvary rode and camped here, and Indians played for real, leaving teepee mouds, stone baths, and artifacts. Ride or walk tree lines canyons near streams delivering water to the lakes below. View rugged and spectacular rock formations with multi colored moss rock, wild flowers, aspen and pine, in mountain above and valley below. Search out the old mines and shafts where copper, silver, and gold were searched out. In the summer watch mule and white tail deer walk nearby your path, leading young to water. In the fall, when the aspen leaves change, listen to the Elk bugle, and race the Elk migration to winter pasture. Catch trout on fly or lure in the lakes while an eagle and her young search out a meal from the rocks above. Visit the original log homesteads, still visible or sleep in the old one room school house by the rustic cabins. This is a place of discovery. Touch a mountain top warmed by the sun..Smell the sweetness of truly fresh air. Bring your horse up to the Ranch for the summer months and ride. Ride to a breakfast cookout by the stream or an overnighter under the stars. Enjoy an experience for as long as you like. Bring your camper or RV up in the spring. Or place a manufacturing home on one of the sites and live a life you could only dream about. How Wild is Wild? There just has to be something better than pollution, over-crowding, automation and the plastic world to which we are accustomed. Take heart. The Flying X Ranch has barely been brushed by the 20th and 21st Centuries. There are a few amenities, but not many. All tucked together in a hidden canyon, you will find a large ranch house, lounge, dining facilities, commercial kitchen, patio, overnight cabins, RV lots, 1 mobile home park, barns, stables, corrals, an enclosed swimming pool, some roads and a few trails. But that's about as much civilization as you'll find in the whole place. It's still nearly all wonderfully wild. This is the place of discovery. Touch a mountain top warmed by the sun. Listen to the breeze whistling through a canyon. Smell the sweetness of truly fresh air. See a deer bounding across a meadow. Pick an apple from an old tree down by the original homestead cabin. Listen to the calls of the wild. Wild? Sure it's wild. Rugged. Open. Yes, this is the real world. |
