Formerly the JL Ranch, the 2701 acre park is nestled beneath the eastern flank of Cheyenne Mountain just south of Colorado Springs. The park offers a stunning transition from Colorados plains to its peaks. The land is in remarkable natural condition and diverse wildlife viewing opportunities abound due to the propertys relatively undisturbed and unfragmented nature.
