Visitors to Navi's Sage Run can enjoy the stunning view of Sulphate Mountain, an ancient volcano that adds a unique touch to the landscape. The area is also home to wild pronghorn, often spotted grazing nearby. For those who love to fish, the Antero Reservoir and Eleven Mile Canyon offer some of the best fishing in Colorado, with opportunities for ice fishing and catching various species of trout. Whether you're here to fish, hike, or simply relax and soak in the panoramic views, Navi's Sage Run is your gateway to the natural wonders of Hartsel.

Horse ranch and nature conservation area. We have a pond you can float in and horses and mules who live here, as well as elk and pronghorn, and a bear. Dogs are welcome! We love dogs! Off leash is fine as long as they don’t chase the horses (and keep in mind that the mules do chase dogs). There is a gas firepit and a gas grill, sitting areas, a port a potty. There is a flat graded area for tents with a picnic table. We ask that there are no fires except for gas (we are still traumatized by the East Troublesome Fire that was 200,000 plus acres. We did not burn here and we’d like to keep it that way. We also ask that there is no loud music because this is the wild animals’ home first, and the antelope and elk have new babies. We are very close to Granby for the grocery store, restaurants, and the Granby Flying Heels Rodeo. We are nearby to the west entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake, Hot Sulfur Springs Resort, Lake Granby and Fraser/Winter Park and all that Grand County Colorado has to offer. Also close by is Granby Ranch for downhill mountain biking and golf. We are about two hours from Denver. If you want to camp but don’t want to be stuck in a crowded campground with noisy neighbors, we’d love to have you!
