The Bighorn Mountains and Bighorn Mountain Foothills
The Bighorn Mountains, aka "the Shining Mountains" are highly visible from this ranch, and from 100 miles to the east. They were a sight to behold for early pioneers, just as they are today. Holding the promise of live water, beautiful landscapes, and plenty of adventure, they continue to be a huge attraction for residents and tourists alike still today.
These Bighorn Mountains exhibit a couple of prominent features that are notable from Clearwater West:
Moncreiffe Ridge, a prominent feature of the Bighorn Mountains, is in view from the property, and a reminder of the legacy of polo and the pioneer, Malcolm Moncreiffe, who established polo in this area in the 1880s.
Little Goose Canyon, a lovely canyon from which Little Goose Creek flows out into the plains providing life-giving water for everything that exists in this area.
The beautiful and highly coveted Bighorn Mountain Foothills have been home to extraordinary equestrian activities for over 150 years. Polo and many other equestrian disciplines have contributed to the preeminence of this area in the equestrian world, but additionally, the "Cowboy-Cosmopolitan" culture and "Sheridan Lifestyle" is still resoundingly favored by those who visit and live here. This facility is just 10 minutes from the Big Horn & Flying H Polo Clubs.
Tepee rings on the hills above the property are reminders of an earlier time when it was still a favorite place of dwelling for the Indians who lived here. Now, a 27-hole championship golf course and club, complete with restaurant, health spa, swimming pool and tennis courts, is adjacent to the property. The historic town of Big Horn is just minutes away and many area attractions such as the Brinton Museum, Bistro, and Bighorn Mountains are close too. The City of Sheridan, Sheridan County Airport, and Bighorn Airways FBO are just 15 minutes to the North. The Bighorn Mountains offer great outdoor recreation just 20-30 minutes to the South.
