La Mariposa Ranch
La Mariposa Ranch is located in the heart of the Apishapa River Valley,
one of the prettiest mountain valleys in Colorado. The views of the "Spanish
Peaks" mountains are truly awe inspiring. The mountain land on this ranch
has lots of gentle terrain, some seasonal catch ponds, large open meadows
with numerous wildflowers surrounded by tall ponderosa pine trees, and
more useable land than in most mountain ranch areas around here.
Located just minutes from the San Isabel National Forest and Cordova Pass,
you'll often see huge herds of elk grazing here and on the adjoining Spirit
Mountain Ranch to the west. Native American teachings indicate that Elk
Medicine is that of looking at how we choose to create our present pathway;
how we intend to perpetuate it to reach our goals; learning to stop when
we need to; to persist when we need to; to allow room for change and exchange
of energies; to be careful of undue stress levels; and to take some personal
quiet time for replenishment. It also speaks to us of metered, sustained
activity to preserve our stamina, and the possibility of needing a new
sense of community. What a perfect "medicine" for La Mariposa Ranch. It
is the perfect place to pace your self and relax, to have 'communication
in unity'.
