Elevations sit around 9,500 to 9,700 feet, a little lower and often sunnier than the Alma end of the county.

Good to Know

Properties use wells and septic, so review well permits, which affect what you can do with water on larger parcels. Ask about zoning if you plan livestock or agricultural use. Schools are in Park County School District RE-2.
