Rio Grande River Property

This is the Upper Rio Grande River near Creede, Colorado. The river in this area is highly regarded for its large brown trout. In the headwaters and tributaries, brook trout and cutthroat trout exist in good numbers.

You now have an opportunity to own a beautiful piece of riverfront property along the Rio Grande River. The following 3 pictures are of the actual Colorado land we have to offer.


Known as the Rio Grande in the United States and as the Río Bravo del Norte in Mexico, this river is 1,885 miles (3,034 km) long and is the third longest river system in the United States.


The Rio Grande River is an American Heritage Designated River.


The parcels that we have on the north end of River Island Ranch actually share their north border with the national forest. This makes your property feel like thousands of acres. Walk out your backyard and into the National Forest. For more details, River Island Ranch.

Stay tuned for more on our special mountain properties and the beautiful fall colors we are enjoying.

Wheeler Geologic Area

Today we feature a very interesting natural phenomenon in the area. The Wheeler Geologic Area is a highly eroded outcropping of layers of volcanic ash, located in the La Garita Mountains of Mineral County, in southern Colorado. The ash is the result of eruptions from the La Garita Caldera approximately 25 millions years ago.


The area was designated a National Monument from 1908 until 1950; and was Colorado's first National Monument. It is now part of the La Garita Wilderness and administered by the Rio Grande National Forest. Lying just below the crest of the range at an elevation of 11,960 feet (3645 m), it can best be reached via the East Bellows Trail (FS790).

The formations are named after Captain George M. Wheeler, who explored and surveyed this area in 1874 for the U.S. Army.
