KNT is located on property owned by the Knott Family, approximately 20 miles SW of Steamboat Springs (~50 mins drive) and 7 miles SW of Oak Creek. It is situated on a gentle slope close to the top of a ridge in an open sagebrush pasture. A high clearance 4WD vehicle is required to access the site. Recommended to use the Knotts' Ranger in muddy conditions. The Knotts seasonally graze both cattle and sheep in the pasture so the station is surrounded by welded wire exclusion fencing. The area experiences frequent lightning and afternoon showers in summer. The soil is soft at the top, but becomes clay-rich below ~20 inches. Bedrock may be as shallow was 6' as we were only able to hammer the lightning rod in this deep.
