3 AREA White Pine/Double Heart Ranch is situated in the Gunnison Basin and is almost completely enclosed by the Gunnison National Forest. The Continental Divide, which runs along the Sawatch Mountain Range, is just south and east of the ranch. Tomichi Creek, which runs the length of the Gunnison Valley before joining the Gunnison River, traverses the ranch for more than three miles. Waunita Hot Springs, a historical site used by the Ute Indians as their wintering campgrounds, is immediately adjacent to the ranch. The hot springs were visited by several legendary figures, including Doc Holiday, and once supported a community of 1,500 during the gold mining days. In later years the springs hosted Ty Cobb s baseball training camp, which has since been turned into pasture for herds of grazing cattle.

4 ACREAGE The assemblage of this exceptional ranch was a labor of love, bringing together a well-known mountain production ranch with a lodge and hunting operation nestled in the heart of one of the most picturesque settings in Colorado. The ranch consists of 8,500 deeded acres along with 640 acres of State of Colorado lease land, 45,000 acres of National Forest and BLM from three different allotments. The deeded portion of the ranch is ten miles north to south along Tomichi Dome from Black Sage Pass on the north down through Horn Gulch and is flanked by National Forest on both sides. Deacon Jones Gulch, Cat Rocks and Bear Gulch link to the ranch along its eastern side where it borders Dawson Ridge. The ranch crosses Highway 50 and continues south taking in the fertile bottom ground now used as hay meadows that occupy 2.5 to 3 miles on both sides of Tomichi Creek. The ranch is a unique combination, with creek bottom elevation of 7,800 ft. at the north end of the ranch, against Tomichi Dome s 11,465 ft elevation.

5 RANCHING AND HUNTING OPERATIONS The Double Heart has a historical reputation for producing quality cattle that graze on its lush hillsides and in the endless grazing permit areas maintained by the ranch. The winter feed base is primarily on the south end of the 400 acres of irrigated and sub-irrigated ground along Tomichi Creek. The ranch has historically run 400 to 500 pair, selling calves in the fall, less replacements; calving and wintering down near the creek and moving north into summer country in the spring. The ranch has traditionally put up 2,500 large round bales of mountain grass hay that average 1,200 lbs. per bale. It also has summer grazing permits for 878 AUMs on over 45,000 acres. The beautiful White Pine Lodge can accommodate 26 plus people and features luxury accommodations with large dining hall, commercial kitchen, common room and an outside deck with spectacular views. The accommodations are deluxe, but it s truly the hunting that keeps visitors coming back. The area is well-known for its large herds and volume of animals. The ranch is in unit 551, and receives landowner tags for mule deer, partial draw for elk and over the counter for the 2 nd and 3 rd seasons. It also has an Outfitter and Guide permit with the U.S. Forest Service for area 551, permit #2720, and is a member of the Colorado Guide & Outfitters Association, #2105.
