Nigel Richardson, trolling for trout with his fly rod, at Park Range Ranch, a working cattle ranch and also guest ranch -- but only for hunters, fishers, and other friends of the owner -- in North Park,
Colorado. 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 a 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.
