salt creek ranch

A fifth-generation working ranch in Colorado's Plateau Valley. Come work it with us.

Salt Creek Ranch sits on Salt Creek Road outside Collbran, in the Plateau Valley east of Grand Junction. Hank and Jackie Bevan run it as a working cattle operation, and guests work it too. You'll gather cattle on horseback, throw a rope, mend fence, and put in a real ranch day. Then you'll eat like you earned it.
