Inscription. James and Elizabeth Cant purchased this property in 1910. Over the following five decades they built the ranch before you. The methods used by the Cants in their early operations were replaced with more modern machinery and techniques as they adopted the new technology that rapidly changed during their lifetimes. Venture back to the early and mid-1900's to see how this family of six made a home and a life for themselves ranching first sheep, and later cattle, in this isolated area.

Ranch grounds, outdoor exhibits, picnic area, and trails are open during daylight hours.
 
Erected by National Park Service.
