beautifully restored yet still keeping the ancient historical feeling of times past. The Ranch is a peaceful place to explore over 5,000 documented thousands
-of-years-old archeological sites in this exquisite region. The north side of the Ranch has exceptionally beautiful rock formation that has been use for
international photographer, wild-animal workshops. Recently a very interesting Anasazi village site has been discovered by the owner on the ranch,
including what looks to be an ancient plaza with kiva, large boulder with collapsed structure of stones, partial wall from a tower, and an unique dam structure
with remnants of pottery. A nearby rock art panel was also discovered. There are petrified wood logs and dinosaur fragments found nearby. Once
owned by a legendary cowboy, Elden Zwicker, the road that leads to the Ranch has been called Mormon Road since early Mormons used it to migrate to
Utah. The road is also nicknamed Robbers Path, as Butch Cassidy is rumored to have his fortune in the Canyon.
