Everyone needs beauty as well as bread,
a place to play in and pray in,
where Nature may heal and cheer,
and give strength to both body and Soul alike.
- John Muir

Courage to Change Ranch is located on the prairie lands in El Paso County in Colorado and is situated amongst the rolling hills that transition from the Rocky Mountain Front Range to the eastern high plains. Views to the west offer glorious sunsets over the Rockies while eastern views herald brilliant sunrises filled with the promise of hope and new beginnings.

There are vistas where one can see forever...across the sunlit fields to
faraway mountain ranges. And there are also intimate, pine and
cottonwood forests filled with wildflowers. The C2C ranch land is etched
with old creek beds that still guide the melting mountain snows down to
the Arkansas River.

The air and lands still hold the magic of early Native Americans who settled in Colorado for centuries. The tribes migrated from the mountains to the ranch lands depending on the season. Hunting trails are still etched into the ground and were used by the Comanche, Ute, Apache, and Pueblos. The ancient territory is perfect for sharing the principles of the Native American Wellbriety program.

The magnificent scenery that abounds was also the inspiration for nineteenth century poet Katharine Lee Bates when she penned America the Beautiful; one of the most revered patriotic songs that captures the heart and soul of the beauty of this land we call home. The raptors, coyotes and ground squirrels, elk, jack rabbits, mule deer, cottontails and porcupines not only become your neighbors, but they become a reminder of the wonder of life that abounds within and without.

Many early settlements were located along migration and hunting trails that were used for many centuries by Native American tribes including the Comanche, Ute, Apache and Pueblo. Settlements such as Colorado City and Colorado Springs were able to succeed due in part to traffic generated from several intersecting regional trails. Although the era of the Old West has ended, preservation of pioneer tales and remnants of historic sites ensure that the County's colorful past will endure as part of the nation's history.

This is the land that gives one the Courage to Change.
