Description
The Vista Loop Trail turns down towards Eightmile Creek here in a field of bunchgrass and wheatgrass. The Ranch Route makes a sharp bend to the left at a rusting water trough. To the right, see a plantation of trees begun as a result of the 1873 Timber Culture Act, which rewarded homesteaders with an extra 160 acres if they planted 40 acres of trees.
