    The Holzwarth Historic Site is a well-preserved homestead and dude ranch within Rocky Mountain National Park, located in the Kawuneeche Valley on the west side of the park. The Holzwarth family, settlers, built the ranch and homestead in 1917 and later expanded it into the Never Summer Ranch, a popular tourist destination. The site includes historic buildings such as cabins and a taxidermy shop, offering a glimpse into Rocky Mountain life from the early 1900s to the 1970s.

    There is a parking lot on Trail Ridge Road near the historic site. The homestead is a few minutes' walk away.
