Situated along 1.4 miles of St. Louis Creek and adjoining the Arapaho National Forest, lies the approximate 446-acre Byers Peak Ranch, a historic Colorado recreational ranch just minutes from Winter Park Resort.

Eisenhower, who spent summers fishing St. Louis Creek with the current owner's grandfather.

The ranch offers incomparable views of Byers Peak, the Continental Divide and Indian Peaks; fishing, hiking and biking right outside your door; and ideal proximity to world class skiing and other recreational pursuits.
