Elk River Valley

Welcome to Elk River Valley

Scenic vistas abound in the Elk River Valley. Named after the abundant herds of elk that call this area home, the river itself once served as a logging route in the 1900s. A mix of historic ranchlands backs up against the national forest, Sleeping Giant, and the Mount Zirkel Wilderness.

Gravel roads filter off County Road 129 and weave their way deep into every corner of the valley. Working farms and guest ranches intersperse single-family homes set on acreage. Small subdivisions have been built in clusters, offering a neighborhood feel, while still ensuring privacy within their rural settings.

Families are served by the Steamboat Springs School District, which includes the easily accessible North Routt Charter School. The village of Clark in the heart of the valley is home to the Clark Store. It operates the local post office, a café, and a general store. The Glen Eden Resort and the Home Ranch offer dining and social events throughout the year.

Filled with history and pioneering spirit, the Elk River valley offers a true taste of the Wild West.
