A beautiful 40 acre ranch on Hastings Mesa with views of Alder Canyon and Hayden’s Peak. You can hear Alder Creek flowing through the canyon from the comfort of your campsite. Many nearby options for bicycling, hiking, kayaking and skiing in the area. Once you pull out the driveway you are a few minutes from Last Dollar Ranch Road (hike, bike, or 4x4) and about a 25 minute drive to Telluride, 30 minutes to Ridgway, and 30 minutes to Norwood. Just outside of Ridgway is Orvis Hot Springs, and more hot springs can be found in Ouray. The property offers access to Alder Creek and our beaver ponds down in the canyon. The fields are blanketed with Iris and clematis flowers in May and June and other wild flowers throughout the summer including pentstemon, larkspur, and wild roses. There are patches of scrub oak and fields with cinquefoil bushes in the camping areas, and as you go down in the canyon there’s aspen groves, blue spruce, and ponderosa pines. We raise ducks for eggs, so there are usually duck eggs available.

Old Cinquefoil Patch

Gorgeous, serene view! Mary was attentive to my messages. I brought a 15 ft trailer and the road in was bumpy and steep. Worth it if you wanna get away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to Telluride (which was such a cool town). I’d come back here for sure.

This was a great place to stay! Mary was a very generous host. The property is beautiful and we loved waking up to the birds and wildflowers. Great access to Telluride and Ridgway. Word to the wise, make sure you have a high clearance vehicle! We had to leave one car behind.

Lovely family! Quiet and although the sites are near the main infrastructure, the scrub oak allows it to feel more private. I was able to follow a game trail down to the bottom of the canyon, which was beautiful.

Lovely quiet spot. Enjoyed the wild Irises and spring green June 1. Four wheel drive is handy getting up the driveway. I’d say essential with a trailer. Use Google maps to find. Apple Maps not specific enough.
