In 1878, John Jensen Homesteaded and later named the Valley of his ranch Lower Lake at Elk Falls Ranch. The Jensen Pioneer family discovered the Elk Creek Valley and instantly fell in love with its natural beauty. By the 1930’s, the Jensen family operated a successful Guest Ranch known as Elk Falls Guest Ranch. John Jensen took his horse drawn buggy down to the Pine Train depot to pick up Guests for the ranch. For over 100 years, guests have enjoyed this mountain get-a-way for indoor and outdoor recreation and relaxation. Historical records dating back to 1898, reflect how a homestead family shared their majestic valley with others. Upon arriving at the Ranch, guests were greeted and made to feel right at home. Mrs Jensen was the cook, and Mr. Jensen was the guide.
The same beauty and hospitality of years past has been preserved for visitors today. Surrounded by Mountain ranges, touched by a flowing creek, stocked ponds, whispering willows, and blue skies, LLR is the perfect get-a-way located on over 200 acres. LLR is situated at 8000+- feet, just 20-30 minutes from the Denver Metropolitan area, off C-470 & Hwy. 285 South (5 Miles south of Conifer, Colorado and 3 miles north of Pine Junction, Co)
