Never Summer Ranch
More visitors followed. The Never Summer Ranch, as it was later known, offered fishing, hunting, and horseback rides. Guest stayed in rustic cabins or a lodge that once stood in the meadow before you. In 1975, Never Summer Ranch and Holzwarth Homestead became part of Rocky Mountain National Park. Although the newer buildings were removed to restore the meadow, this dirt road leads to the Holzwarth's or original homestead buildings.
Picture Caption: In its historic heyday, the Never Summer Ranch offered horseback riding, hunting, and "all the trout you can catch" for $2.00 dollars a day or $11.00 a week.
