Roberts Ranch Public Tour

Explore the Living Legacy of Roberts Ranch

Tucked into the foothills near Livermore, Colorado, Roberts Ranch stretches across 16,500 acres of grasslands, canyons, and ridgelines. For centuries, this land has been a crossroads of stories, first home to Native peoples, later a stop along the Overland Trail, and since 1874, a working cattle ranch passed down through the Roberts family. 

Today, thanks to a landmark conservation effort led by Larimer County and partners, Roberts Ranch remains both a working cattle operation and a protected open space—ensuring its history, culture, and ecology will endure for years to come.

A Rare Invitation

On Saturday, October 4, 2025, the gates of Roberts Ranch will open for an exclusive guided walking tour. Join us for this opportunity to step onto private land and experience firsthand how history and modern stewardship come together.

• An archaeological site where Native Americans once gathered 

• Pioneer history including stories of early settlers and homesteads
