Longhorn Ranch
Las Animas County, Colorado

Longhorn Ranch Entrance Signs I love Las Animas County! It's the largest of Colorado's 64 counties and is located about 200 miles due south of the Denver Metro area. In my never-ending search for the perfect homestead I stumbled across Longhorn Ranch and a number of other rural communities throughout the county. Below are a few photos of things and places I've found interesting down there. Some of the things that attract me to Longhorn Ranch, and other areas around the county, are their relative remoteness, wide-open spaces and clear skies. Also, not only are they far away from Denver and other big cities, but they have no running water, no electricity, and no telephone service (unless you're high enough on a hill to reach a cellular telephone tower!)! What could be better?!
