Description of Property
The property consists of 434.18 +/- deeded acres, of which 165 acres are irrigated by two pivot sprinklers and 57 acres are irrigated by gated pipe. Irrigation water is obtained through early water rights from both Spring Creek and the Nowood River. The Nowood River flows south to north through the west side of the property, and Spring Creek flows westerly through the north portion of the property, until it’s confluence with the Nowood River on the property. In past years, the Sellers have enlisted the aid and engineering expertise of the Natural Resources Conservation Service to help with a riparian restoration project along the banks of the Nowood River in order to promote bank stabilization and curtail erosion. The ranch is bordered by BLM and State lands on the west, which opens recreational access into thousands of acres of additional BLM and State lands. Many species of wildlife inhabit the area, including but not limited to elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, mountain lion, turkey, pheasant, sage grouse, Hungarian partridge, Chukar partridge, ducks, and geese.

How Ten Sleep Got Its Name There was a large Indian camp on the Platte River near the present site of Casper, Wyoming that was known to early trappers as the ‘Old Sioux Camp’. To the north near the present site of Bridger, Montana on the Clarks Fork river was another large and well known Indian camp. These were cross-roads of the nations and trails led in all directions. The now town of Ten Sleep was halfway between these two major camps (Indians measured distance by the number of “sleeps”).
Ten Sleep is home of the world famous Ten Sleep 4th will not find a more authentic Western rodeo anywhere.

Ten Sleep long ago staked its claim to a share of Wyoming’s and Washakie County’s colored history. Ten Sleep received its name because of the method of measuring distance that was used by Indians. The legendary “Spring Creek Raid” – On April 2, 1909, seven cowmen attacked a sheep camp near Spring Creek just south of Ten Sleep (adjacent to the Big Horn Valley Ranch) and killed three men – roasting two in their burning sheep wagon and shooting the third – kidnapped two other, killed sheep dogs and dozens of sheep and destroyed thousands of dollars of personal property. The spectacular Ten Sleep Canyon is the gateway to the unique and diverse Big Horn Mountains and Big Horn National Forest. Within the National Forest area, you can encounter grass prairies, evergreen forests, mountain meadows, rugged alpine peaks, dramatic canyons, arid desert lands and cascading waterfalls -- all within a day's journey. Truly an outdoor paradise filled with recreational opportunities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking and backpacking, horseback riding, mountain biking, picnicking, sightseeing, photography, snowmobiling, skiing, and sledding. The Ten Sleep Fish Hatchery (8 miles east of Ten Sleep at the mouth of Ten Sleep Canyon) produces over two million fish each year including Rainbow trout, Cutthroat trout, Brook trout and Splake – another fun learning experience.
The heart of the Nature Conservancy’s 9,000-acre Tensleep Preserve is a 12-mile stretch of Canyon Creek, slicing deeply through the southwestern flanks of the Bighorn Mountains. Ancient pictographs and Native American gathering sites reveal a long history between people and the land. The Preserve is open to the public who may use the Conservancy's learning center for mealtime and classes, explore the local geology, examine western flowers, watch for wildlife, visit ancient pictograph sites and soak in expansive views of spectacular canyon country. The preserve's tent camp provides an opportunity to enjoy the unique and remote landscapes of majestic ponderosa pine woodlands, lush cottonwood forests nestled in the bottom of deep canyons, open meadows with expansive views and spectacular canyon overlooks.
The Medicine Lodge Archaeological Site, located approximately 26 miles north of the Big Horn Valley Ranch near the small town of Hyattville, has long been known for its Native American petroglyphs and pictographs -- a
Castle Gardens Scenic Area gets its name from some impressive odd-shaped sandstone rock formations (hoodoos). Just two miles west of Ten Sleep on U.S. Highway 16.
