July 10, 2008--Hopkins conserves river ranch (Cortez Journal)
Montezuma Land Conservancy and Rosemary Hopkins signed a conservation easement June 28, permanently protecting her historic 80-acre ranch from subdivision and development. Located one mile west of Bear Creek, the Hopkins Ranch is a hidden gem, according to a statement from the land conservancy.

Together these features create a haven for livestock, fish, and wildlife, and the property is visible from the highly-traveled San Juan Skyway.
