The Battle Pass Claims are located in the scenic Sierra Madre mountains 11 miles southwest of Encampment, Wyoming. Comprised of approximately 77 deeded acres, this property is located just a half mile from the Continental Divide Trail along the Battle Pass Scenic Byway (HWY 70) providing easy access during the summer months and is just over 4 miles from the seasonal closure gate during the winter months. Bordered on by the Medicine Bow National Forest on 2 sides, there is unlimited recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast that enjoys hiking, ATVing, snowmobiling, fishing and hunting.

This property’s location is ideally situated for the avid hunter with 3 different general elk units (13,15 & 21) and two limited quota deer and 1 general units (80, 81 & 82) essentially right out the front gate from this property. In addition to the thousands of acres of national forest that can be explored there are approximately 48 square miles of the Huston Park Wilderness a half mile south of the property. There are abundant fishing opportunities in the mountain streams and lakes throughout the national forest. The North Platte & Encampment Rivers, both blue ribbon fisheries, are less than 30 minutes away from the property offering additional fishing and floating opportunities as well.

The Battle Pass Claims are mostly timbered with some live water from springs running through the property. There are a number of ideal building sites with outstanding views throughout the property. As you enter the property there is a developed spring that has been registered with the Wyoming State Engineer’s office. Rarely do properties of this size become available in the national forest that have easy highway access in the summer months and are a short ride away in the winter months.
