Bear Basin Ranch is an 1890’s working ranch nestled in the heart of the Wet Mountains in Southern Colorado and overlooks the Wet Mountain Valley to the west and runs parallel to the Sangre de Cristo range and the Sangre de Cristo National Wilderness Area. Bear Basin Ranch was first utilized as a hunting ground for roaming bands of buffalo hunters, then as a summer home to the Mountain Utes. The Ranch was later settled as part of the Silver Park Prospect in the 1860’s, later becoming a homestead, cattle ranch, and finally, the home of our 60-head Appaloosa and Quarter horses.

Located in the Wet Mountain Valley, Valley Ace Hardware has been a family owned and operated business since 1885 that focuses on serving and evolving to fit the needs of the community.

As the mines slowed down, our beautiful valley grew into a ranching community and we changed to serve the needs of the ranchers and cattlemen.
