Forest Service Rd, Kamas, UT 84036

The Hidden Bear Ranch is located on the North Slope of the Uinta Mountains, at 8,350 to 8,850 feet in elevation. The ranch's broad and gentle alpine valley has 1.5 miles of Mill Creek running through it, with water rights to flood irrigate large portions of the valley. Mill Creek offers excellent fishing for Native Cutthroat Trout, and the ranch recently received a grant and is currently undergoing a significant stream restoration and fisheries improvement project being done by a partnership between Trout Unlimited, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, the US Fish & Wildlife agency, and Utah State University. The gentle alpine landscape is an ideal mix of pine, aspen, open meadows, and river bottom. Tremendous elk habit, with a major concentration of elk occurring on the ranch during the fall rut, pushed there from the adjoining National Forest or the large CWMU to the ranch's north, which are hunted more heavily than are the elk on the Hidden Bear Ranch. Elk tags are over the counter. Trophy mule deer are also found on the ranch, and the ranch is in a general season deer unit. The base zoning allows for up to 11 subdivided lots if development is pursued. For the conservationist, the ranch is a prime candidate for a conservation easement. No conservation easements are in place yet, which leaves all the tremendous tax benefits of that possibility to the next owner. Some of the most aesthetic yet usable alpine land found in the state of Utah, it truly doesn't get any prettier than this land.
