Wolfe Ranch, Pioneer homestead in Arches National Park, Utah, US
The Wolfe Ranch features a one-room cabin constructed with basic materials and a corral situated along Salt Wash near present-day Moab, Utah.
John Wesley Wolfe established this ranch in 1888 after relocating from Ohio due to injuries sustained during the Civil War.
The property contains Native American petroglyphs created by Ute, Zuni, Hopi, and Paiute tribes who inhabited the region before European settlement.
The ranch remains accessible through a short trail from the Delicate Arch parking area, offering interpretive signs about pioneer life.
The ranch residents ordered supplies from Sears catalogs every three months, growing root vegetables and melons using water from their irrigation dam.
