BUSINESS/MEETINGS
The Reids opened the Ranch to church groups, family reunions, government and company groups. The response has been gratifying. The Ranch books groups up to a year in advance because of its popularity. Reid Ranch is truly God's country. It sits at 7,800 feet on the slopes of the Uintah Mountains. The Reids have tried to limit its growth so as not to disturb the ecological balance of nature surrounding the Ranch. You can still experience seeing deer, moose, elk, bear, beaver, porcupine, mountain lion, and even skunks.

REGION/CUSTOMS
The Ranch's location and the area surrounding it is replete with Western folklore and history. Chief Tabby from whom Tabby Mountain got its name, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid riding up through these mountain passes, and the famed Rhodes Mine that was supposed to have helped finance the development of the Salt Lake Valley at the time of Brigham Young are all part of the Ranch's history.

HISTORY/HOSTS
Reid Ranch was purchased in 1978 by Mervin and Ethna Reid. They had been looking for a getaway for many years. After being told about the property by a friend, they took a leisurely drive to see the location. Upon arriving, they fell in love with the location, its beauty, and the abundant wild life. They could visualize immediately "Reid Ranch." What they found was a very primitive location with one small building that was partially built. A fire had burned off the back porch. There was no running water, but there was electricity. The Ranch was without a telephone until 1989, so all calls about building supplies and emergencies had to take place from the little pay phone outside the Fruitland Store 13 miles down a dirt road. Fruitland was the first land scam in Utah. A man selling land in the area took pictures of the flowering fruit trees in Utah County to entice people to the "fruitland" area. When the purchasers arrived from the Midwest and found sage and red rock and cedar trees, many sold their holdings to the hardy few who stayed and began to develop the area.

The Reid Ranch will continue to be a pristine Western location to enjoy now and in the future. The Reids love the area, and they hope those who stay can sense the beauty as they see it.
