In 1975, High Park Ranch, the YWAM Cimarron Colorado Base, was founded out of a vision to see young people trained for the glory of God. Today this vision continues in the hearts of those sent out to disciple the nations of the world. From this mountain His children are restored, equipped and mobilized to bring His love to the peoples of the Himalayas, the roof of the world located in the heart of the 10/40 window where over 95% of unreached people dwell.
