Wall hat rack at Boettcher Fort Lodge at Park Range Ranch, a working cattle ranch and guest ranch -- but only for hunters, fishers, and other friends of the owner -- in North Park, Colorado. (Coloradans in this remote part of the state, near the Wyoming line, call their valleys "parks.") Boettcher Fort is named for Denver hardware baron Charles Boettcher, who once owned the fabled Brown Palace in Denver and the Park Range Ranch, where he built cabins for guests in a fort-like arrangement near the main lodge. The Park Range is a spectacular portion of the Rocky Mountains. This vast area, up dirt roads out of Walden, Colorado, in Jackson County, one of the the least-populated counties in America, is somewhat like a beautiful national park but minus tourists and their inconsiderate behavior. It is uncrowded, teeming with wildlife, inaccessible from other than a dead-end dirt road on strictly private property, unspoiled by visitors taking "selfie" photographs, and unadulterated by tour buses, trash and other detritus.
