The Chico’s sweeping vistas epitomize the American West. Just 40 min southeast of Colorado Springs, this hidden kingdom has one of the most beautiful high plains landscapes imaginable: rolling hills, hidden draws and creeks, flowing springs, wetlands and lakes. The ranch is traversed by 14 miles of the Chico Creek, plus a handful of smaller streams. Its vast expanse of prairie, spring-fed pools of water, and meandering creek bottoms support rich wildlife habitat. From many locations on the ranch, you have an unobstructed view of a 120-mile panorama of the Rockies, including the Spanish Peaks, the Greenhorns, the Sangre de Cristos, and, of course, 14,000-foot Pike’s Peak.
