About McGraw Ranch Memories
Welcome to McGraw Ranch Memories....a nostalgic look at that incredible place which will live in our hearts forever. McGraw Ranch closed its doors to guests many years ago, but thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Park Service, the Colorado Historical Society and others, it has been beautifully restored. Today it is owned by the National Park Service and is used as a research facility. Although only approved research personnel may stay there, the Ranch is also the trailhead for the Cow Creek Hiking Trail, so you can park on the property and walk among the buildings as you start your hike through a beautiful part of Rocky Mountain National Park. We'll add more to this website as we get it, so send us your story and pictures!
