Mann Gulch Hike

It's a beautiful area and I've spent a good amount of time around there. Willow Creek is one of my favorite places. Unbelievable that it was all a ranch at one time and instead of keeping it and profiting from it, the owner wanted to preserve it as a place for the animals. Have a hard time coming up with a scenario where that would happen today.

Who owned the ranch?

Who owned the ranch?

It was called the Beartooth Ranch. Don’t know the name of the individual(s) who owned it, but it was purchased in 1970 by the state.

Picked up a copy of Young Men and Fire on the recommendation of @Southern Elk. It is fantastic, breathtaking, tragic. Thanks for the suggestion!
