Alta Lake has a lot of history...
It was hunting and fishing grounds for nomadic indian tribes. Miners and trappers passed through the Alta Coulee south of the lake in search of pelt and valuable gem & ore. In the early 1900's, homesteaders settled in the area to scratch the ground for farming. Ranching & livestock came to Alta Lake when my dad bought the land from a homesteader in 1944. Outfitting & guiding folks on horseback trips for fishing and hunting took root shortly after. 2010 is our 66th year of welcoming visitors to our ranch here at Alta.
