It was built by Amos Penoyer, a pioneer rancher of Pinewood region. During the 80's and the 90's it was on the main traveled road between Loveland and Estes Park and there were many homes and ranches along this road. When the road was finally blasted thru the Loveland or Big Thompson Canyon in 1905 and the traffic went this way then the old Bald Mountain road thru Rattlesnake Park was abandoned.; R7100130254
