Sellars Creek Ranch


 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has owned this beautiful location since 1962. It is a working welfare cattle ranch, as well as a developed trek site. Sellars Creek is the newest of the Church's eight trek sites. All visitors are expected to be stewards of the Lord's property while at the Sellars Creek Ranch. Please help us care for this special place - its trees, plants, creeks, campgrounds, and cattle.
