While the ranch has many wagons and western antiques, most of the area below the future Warehouse Building site, the Silo and the also the future fruit orchard (non apples) has been designated at a Deer Pasture and wildlife habitat area. As shown here, the roads throughout the ranch are lined with river rock drainage ditches and most have granite dry stacked rock walls ranging from 24” to as high as 48”, built predominantly from native stone recovered during the orchard and vineyard grading process.

 

This photo is taken standing at the intersection of Buffalo Creek Road and Ranch House Road, almost directly in the center of the property. The John Deere freight wagon is in the foreground with the Ranch House and beautiful fall colored aspen stand in the background. Buffalo Creek Ranch sets at an elevation of 5,100 feet (about 400 feet above the valley floor) and Job’s Peak, elevation 10,663, rises dramatically behind the property as a result of a thrust fault and millions of years of evolution.
