Horn Ranch I and II

Horn Ranch is one of the most visible and stunning landscapes along I-70 and the Eagle River corridor. There are two adjacent properties: Horn I, which is owned by Eagle County Open Space (south of I-70), and Horn II (north of I-70).

This iconic piece of land is in the heart of the Red Canyon Valley, the beautiful landscape of crimson cliffs, hillsides, and meadows between Wolcott and Eagle. It features stunning access to the Eagle River and serves as a natural visual buffer between developed areas to the east and west. The Red Canyon Valley is a “Classic Colorado” landscape, and the conservation of Horn Ranch forever protects the stunning views enjoyed by tens of thousands of travelers along I-70 every day. The permanent conservation easement on the property also protects riparian habitat and provides 288 acres of public open space. Over one mile of the Eagle River is accessible for fishing and floating.
