Added 4/12 Fire Ban There is currently a ban on any and all open fires in Las Animas county, a continuation of the policy of the past several years. The county sheriff has extended the ban for 2010 (click on the binoculars to see the original ban). The ban prohibits any open fires including campfires, trash burning, outdoor smoking, and slash (forestry debris) burning. Any exceptions must be approved by the sheriff who may or may not issue a burn permit, depending on the particular situation. Please pass the word to newcomers in our community. We all have a stake in our ranch and our forest, and fires don't respect property lines. One bad mistake or miscalculation can affect us all. If a fire is spotted, the standard procedure is to call 911 immediately, then call your area leader. The designated areas of the ranch, the area leaders and their assistants can be found in the Community Preparedness Handbook, pages 8 & 9. The Community Preparedness Handbook can be accessed on the Santa Fe Trail Ranch website by clicking the second link under the Members Only category in the column to the left of the home page.

Welcome. The Santa Fe Trail Ranch (SFTR) web site is dedicated to providing past, present, and future documentation and information to both resident and non-resident owners. The beautiful Santa Fe Trail Ranch is nestled in the immediate northwest quadrant of the Raton Pass in southern Colorado. It is commonly called the southeastern gateway to the Rockies, and is bordered on the east by Fisher's Peak and the Raton Mesa. To the north are the Towering Huajatolla, more commonly known as the Spanish Peaks. To the west is the majestic Sangre de Cristo mountain range. The small town of Trinidad lies at the northern border of the SFTR, and Raton, NM, is located just past the southern border of the SFTR. The Vermejo Park Ranch and the Crazy French Ranch are our nearest neighbors to the immediate west and east, respectively.
