Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Janet Ross
I retired seven years ago and am a quiet person. Happy to chat if you like, or leave you alone. I founded and was Executive Director of Four Corners School of Outdoor Education 32 years, now called the Canyon Country Discovery Center, a place-based interactive science center, located just north of Monticello on Hwy 191. Worth a visit if you have time!
Why they chose this property
The property is surrounded by farm fields and a few remote homes. The neighbors like their privacy, so if you go for walks nearby please stay on the main gravel road. The views from this high point are vast and spectacular of the entire Four Corners area and Bears Ears. Lots of parking.
I live on the property if you have questions or need anything. I may not be there all the time but you will get my cell phone when you arrive if you have questions. There are a dog and cat that live on the property, so sorry but guests may not bring pets. Two Great Pyrenees neighbor dogs occasionally show up as well who are very friendly.
