Our Water Source


Our pristine water supply ...



The only water source on our property.  We pump water from the creek up to the house and shed rain tanks.



The water comes up from out of the ground right on our boundary fence, making us the first people to dip into the fresh alpine water.  Our property backs onto a national forest and alpine national park and snowfields.











Simply beautiful ...
