Mira Ranch Launches New Website

The redesign and relaunch of our website required many soul searching hours. For the past several years the project has afforded me contact with people I never expected to meet and friendship with people I may not have had the privilege to meet.

And so I found myself leaving the ranch at times, becoming more and more fascinated by the history of the area, the awesome beauty, the lifestyle and diversity of the people who live here, those who travel through, and others who are the early Creators of Durango and the Four Corners Region. In a nutshell the stories – Past and Present.

We wish to share with you stories by and about the 4H Kids, an anthropologists view of long term land use and small ranch life, garden tips and recipes (got to have recipes), cultural opportunities, sustainability and how our region is planning for our future and striving to foster community, the Southwest Lifestyle and many others.

Of course we continue to share with you our “ know it when you step in it” stories of small ranch life, the colorful cast of characters including Curly the Bull, his harem and their offspring, and our majestic horses. And we must mention the deer, the prairie dogs, pocket gophers, bear, fox, coyote, heron, ducks and geese and others who pass through here on occasion and entertaining photos of these wonderful species which we catch on our Critter Cam.
