The barn that was later converted into the recording studio at Caribou Ranch can be seen at the back of this photo of a Sunday horse show during the 1940s at the Lazy VV Ranch.
While trees may have grown over the years, the site has always been a beautiful locale, from its days as a horse ranch through the arrival of Caribou Ranch recording studios in the '70s.
