We love to share a view of our untouched panoramas of century old ranches, homesteads, and landscapes of what was once known as No Mans Land, and where Santa Fe Trail wagon trains crossed from the east to the west to the trading post at Santa Fe. Just outside of Guymon you can see towns spanning 40 miles, with a small glow of lights every 10 miles which was the distance the original steam and coal engines could travel before needing to fuel up.

We also sit along the Playa Lakes Loop, known for the variety of water fowl, wildlife, and plant species that pop up certain times of the year amidst the flatlands and Beaver Sand Dunes.

While youre here, head over to the No Mans Land Museum in Goodwell for a two-headed calf, historic gun collections, stage coaches, arrowheads, and other fascinating and authentic Pioneer and Native American artifacts.
