Each
visitor to Bachelor Gulch Village® should be revitalized by this
spectacular Rocky Mountain setting. With this in mind, the creators
of Bachelor Gulch Village successfully executed a vision for a resort
community that maximizes the ski-in/ski-out access to residences, yet
retains the spectacular alpine ambiance for which this area is known.
A special 
of
single men that settled here in the 1900s - John Anderson, Gunder Berg,
Ed Howard, John Mertz and Ferdinand "Crippled" Smith. They
supported themselves by logging and raising cattle, chickens and hay.
In order to provide water for their fields, they labored for four years
using dynamite and a horse-drawn scoop (called a fresno) to dig an irrigation
trench that still meanders through the valley today. Lettuce ultimately
became a mainstay crop, until the Great Depression, when the bachelors
gradually drifted away. For nearly 50 years, no one lived in Bachelor
Gulch as it patiently awaited rediscovery.
