HISTORY/HOSTS
The 4UR has been entertaining guests since the early 1900s when General William Palmer founded the Wagon Wheel Gap Hot Springs Resort. The Hot Springs here have long made our location a popular one, first with the Indians and then with our guests. The springs were considered a relief for many health problems and we still enjoy these springs today. The ranch is managed by Aaron and Robin Christensen and owned by the Leavell Family.
