Hiking the Ranch
We provide both guided and self-guided tours to some of our most cherished locations just beyond our pastures. For the self-guided tours, participants receive a map and some pointers from our ranch staff before embarking on their own exploration of our stunning ranch and its offerings. The guided tours can take up to two hours, and be prepared to wade through water! You'll encounter waterfalls, petite caves, magnificent rock formations along creek banks, and wildlife, including the occasional sighting of Bald Eagles on our property. 4 hours maximum for unguided tour and 2 hours for guided. Blocks are 8AM to 12PM and 1PM to 5PM. Last time to begin is 1:00 PM.
Guided Tour: $25 per person
Unguided: $20 per group

Ranch Hand Experience
​
Here’s your chance to throw on old clothes, get your hands dirty and ‘make a ranch hand’! This tour depends on what’s going on but will allow the participant to help doctor animals; catch, tag and possibly even castrate calves; or sort cattle. We are working ALL the time and will post our calendar on our website when these opportunities are available. Come prepared to get ‘stuff’ on you! This tour is a great way to introduce the participant what kind of work is really involved in getting their food to the table.
