TWIN PEAKS RANCH
Ranch Hunting Rules
For check in - Please make phone contact with the ranch manager prior to arrival. Please do not just drop in at the headquarters. Since this is a working ranch, it is extremely important to contact us before you come so that someone can be at headquarters when you arrive. Check in times are between 7am and 7pm, but it is helpful if you have and estimated time of arrival so that we are utilizing our time most efficiently. You will be required to provide identification and your conservation ticket when you check in and you will receive a sign that should be placed on the front windshield of your vehicle. This sign must stay on your vehicle at all times while hunting on the ranch to alert ranch hands and game wardens to your legal presence. You will be given a map. We have put a combination lock on the entrance that is to be used by all public hunters to access the camping area. You may set up a tent or bring a camper. The closest hotels are in Trinidad and Walsenburg.
We have a list of rules that we feel are necessary to protect everyone’s safety, the quality of the wildlife, the beauty of the ranch and to enhance your hunting experience. Thanks ahead of time for following them.
