History

Established in 2000.

Fortcross originated on Riley’s Farm, and was moved to Mile High Ranch when the ajoining property was purchased. Mile High Ranch is surrounded on all sides by wilderness, which makes it an ideal location for a pristine camping and hiking adventure. Come explore the hundred year old oak and sycamore groves, periwinkle filled water canyons, and man made lake!
