Original homesteaders settled the 160-acre ranch in 1903. Nearly a century later, Robbie and Hope Levin were searching for a special piece of land. As they drove through the dilapidated metal gate of the then-unnamed cattle ranch, they were struck by the unique setting and views.
They christened that land "Sorrel River Ranch" after being inspired by the color of the Colorado River when a spring rain turns the water red from the surrounding rocks, like the color of a sorrel horse.
