Harbison Meadow Details

You may spot elk or coyotes in this meadow, which was the site of twin homesteads established by Annie and Kitty Harbison in 1895. For three decades, a herd of dairy cows belonging to the sisters grazed this part of the Kawuneeche Valley. The Harbison cabins and farm buildings are now gone, but the sagebrush meadow remains evidence of the former pasture land.
