WATER-RICH GREEN LIVING
GREENHOUSE
Water is our most valuable resource and Willowrun has it all.
A major river, city water, and good annual precipitation.
The Trinidad City water treatment plant is two miles up the road and provides clean, mountain-sourced water for Willowrun’s cabins and the entire Colorado campus. This city water feeds an automotive watering system for a distinctive 500 sq. ft. geodesic dome greenhouse that produces fresh, organic food ten or more months of the year.

BRIDGES, GAZEBO and TRAILS
Willowrun is a horse owner's, fisherman's, and outdoor enthusiast’s dream. A spacious gazebo on the river with storage provides the perfect place to entertain, camp, and fish. If you own horses, there is 14 acres of fenced pasture and room to build a barn or shelter.
​
A beautiful arched steel ATV bridge allows access to the back pasture of the property with smaller walking bridges and pass-overs along trails that are sculpted throughout the meadow, lush willow, and along the ridge to the top plateau that offers a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Sangre de Cristo mountains just fourteen miles away.
Willowrun’s landscape includes native trees and xeriscape plants to feed pollinators. Trails wind through secluded areas and offer habitat for deer, elk, bears, foxes, beavers, eagles, heron, and ducks.
