With four ranches and National Forest Service across the fence there is no end to the trail riding opportunities. We have several favorite trails to ride or we can take off and explore new country where the cowboys and Indians of yesteryear rode. If you want simple riding or feel adventurous and want to strike out on your own we have it. One of our favorites is the 450ft vertical descent into Craven Canyon on the east end of the ranch. This canyon is also home to a myriad of Indian paintings. The ranch also has several areas of lithic scatter where Indians of the past knapped their arrow and spear heads out of stone, and teepee rings where Indian encampments once were. You can also identify different plants that the Indians used to survive on and are still available today.
