Speaking of Hereford Ranch/Cheyenne

[The "Nunn Guy"]

I joined up with the Audubon trip to Hereford Ranch last Saturday.   We were treated by Dr Hale (Owner) with access to the western portion of the property accessing Crow Creek riparian corridor from (new) Campstool Road (water treatment plant on west side) to the Hereford Reservoir two miles to the west.  Dr Hale said call them up if you wish to access this section of Hereford Ranch.  Dr Hale was great leader shared the history of the ranch and you can tell by his passion how much he loves the ranch.

Once you get permission (http://wyomingherefordranch.com/contact.htm) to access--you take Old Campstool Road (dirt road just before (.2m) Hereford Ranch driveway on west) about .5m (or 1.0m) to two gated entrances.  Open and close gates behind you--even the interior ones.  They own property from the Water Treatment fence line all the way to the reservoir about a two mile hike along Crow Creek.
