The ranch stretches across both Colorado and Wyoming, offering a remarkable variety of terrain and habitat. From the expansive hay meadows of the Slater Creek valley to the timbered slopes along the base of the Elkhead Mountains, the ranch provides both agricultural productivity and outstanding wildlife habitat.

Approximately 2,551+/- acres of pivot irrigated and ditch/flood irrigated meadows and pastures contribute to the ranch's forage production, while extensive native grass pastures and mountain range support seasonal grazing operations. The combination of creek corridors, productive bottoms, timber, and upland country creates a balanced and highly functional landscape rarely found in a single ownership.

The Willow Creek headquarters serves as the operational center of the ranch and is well-equipped to support a large-scale livestock operation. Improvements include three homes, a bunkhouse, two well-designed livestock handling facilities, and a substantial 60 x 130 shop building used for equipment maintenance and storage.

The ranch also features the well-known Cantina, offering four guest suites with private bathrooms, a large kitchen, and gathering area suitable for entertaining family, guests, or hunting parties. Additional residences located throughout the ranch include a farmhouse overlooking Slater Creek and a creekside home positioned above the valley floor with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.

The improvements are functional, well-positioned, and support both agricultural and recreational uses. The Slater Dixon Ranch offers exceptional year-round recreational opportunities and supports some of the most diverse wildlife habitat in northwestern Colorado and southern Wyoming.

Located within a major elk migration corridor, the ranch hosts substantial resident elk populations while thousands of migratory elk move through the property each fall and winter. Healthy populations of mule deer and pronghorn antelope are found throughout the ranch, along with moose, black bear, mountain lion, bobcat, coyote, sandhill cranes, and numerous other wildlife species.

The ranch is particularly well known for its upland bird habitat, supporting populations of sharp-tailed grouse, sage grouse, and dusky grouse. One of the region's most significant sharp-tailed grouse leks is located on the ranch, highlighting the quality of the native habitat and long-term stewardship of the property.

The combination of irrigated meadows, creek bottoms, sagebrush benches, oak brush ridges, timbered slopes, and mountain parks creates exceptional habitat diversity that supports wildlife throughout the year. Fishing opportunities are equally impressive.

More than eleven miles of Slater Creek, along with Willow Creek, Green Creek, Grizzly Creek, and Douglas Creek, provide miles of private trout water supporting healthy populations of brook trout, brown trout and the occasional cutthroat trout. Deep pools, undercut banks, natural meanders, and healthy riparian habitat create excellent fishing opportunities throughout the ranch.

The Slater Dixon Ranch is currently enrolled, together with neighboring ranches, in Colorado's Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) Program, creating access to a managed landscape encompassing more than 80,000 acres of premier big game habitat. Through this cooperative partnership with Colorado Parks and
