Tucked away from the bustle of modern life, nestled in a serene corner of the world, stands a haven called "Newton Fork Ranch." It isn’t just a place; it’s an escape into a simpler, quieter existence, a place where time slows down and the art of conversation dances in the air.
Amidst the rolling hills, where the whispering winds harmonize with the rustling leaves, Newton Fork Ranch welcomes weary souls seeking solace from the chaos of daily life. Here, the melody of cell phone bells, chimes, and dings are replaced by the soft turn of book pages and the gentle laughter that accompanies cherished memories.
An Oasis for Peace and Solitude
The retreat, a sanctuary for tranquility seekers, understands the unspoken yearning for peace and solitude. Visitors arrive seeking the quiet rhythm of life's simpler pleasures. In the heart of this refuge lays a gate, an exclusive passage designed solely for the retreat's guests. Beyond it stretches - 50-miles in either direction, the George S. Mickelson Trail, a 109-mile expanse of nature's grandeur, inviting exploration on foot, by bike or horseback.
The Allure of the George S. Mickelson Trail
Amidst the scenic beauty of towering pines, aspen, and birch, the trail, once a bustling railroad line, now beckons avid outdoor enthusiasts to lose themselves in its serenity. The picturesque landscape and granite rock outcroppings add a rugged charm to the journey, while the surrounding wilderness teems with life—deer, foxes, and an array of birds, making every exploration an immersive encounter with nature's vibrant inhabitants.
Meandering gracefully through this natural wonderland, the trail's gentle 4% grade and crushed limestone base offers two-wheeled explorers a smooth ride. Numerous events grace the annual calendar of the Mickelson Trail, attracting enthusiastic cyclists. For dedicated riders, the Mickelson Trail hosts two notable Trail Treks yearly—one in summer, scheduled for June 21-23, 2024 and the other in fall, taking place from September 20-22 in 2024.
