The Michelson Homestead is located in northeastern Wyoming in a pristine area of the Black Hills. It is generally between Four Corners, Wyoming and Deadwood, South Dakota and almost surrounded by Black Hills National Forest lands. It’s tucked away in a quiet corner of Crook County away from civilization in the heart of elk country.

The property is accessed from the south side via Forest Service Road #107, which turns into #807 at the Wyoming Stateline, this road is known as the Moskee Road. From the Forest Service Road a logging trail leads to the south side near the old homestead site. Part of these roads are gravel and part are dirt trails. Travel to the north side is on Forest Service Road #106 and #175, that changes to #875 at the Stateline, which is a gravel road. Just west of Trailshead Lodge on Highway 85 take Rifle Pit Road #106 for 4/10 of mile, then go left on Willow Springs Road for another 5.5 miles to the northwesterly side of the property.

The roads are not plowed in the winter and the road on the north is groomed as a snowmobile trail. Leaving the highway the Trail is #1 and then runs into Trail #3B. In the winter park your vehicle at Trailshead Lodge and snowmobile into your property.

The Michelson Homestead is located in the area known as Grand Canyon. It lays at the southeast end of Grand Canyon and has a wide valley edged with pine and aspen trees making a beautiful scene. Groves of quaking aspen trees line the hillside. There are several alcoves tucked back in the timber that would make the perfect cabin sites with views looking down the valley. The elevation is in the range of 6,160 to 6,300 feet above sea level.

A spring development near the homestead site is piped into a water tank with the overflow going into a reservoir. The spring development provides a natural waterhole for area wildlife. There are two other reservoirs on the property, one of them appears to be spring fed.

The Michelson Homestead is in the heart of the country that the Black Hills elk herd calls home. This area of the Black Hills is known for its large herds of elk and for having trophy caliber bulls.

Many hunters come to this area each year in search of a trophy bull elk or whitetail buck. Mountain lion, coyote, fox, bobcat, and eagles are also seen in the area.
