Hiking

Countless miles of interesting and beautiful walks prove attractive to ranch guests. The possibilities are unlimited: caliche roads and fence lines or streambeds and valleys leading to higher, open country.

Destinations across open pastures might be a distant windmill or sinkhole cave or unusual sedimentary rock formations. The Ranch’s hilly terrain offers elevations with truly spectacular vistas.

While hiking one can appreciate the wide variety of grasses, forbs, wild flowers, and woody plants and trees.

There is always the possibility that the hiker may surprise whitetail deer, one or more types of exotics, turkeys, feral hogs, jackrabbits, or armadillos. Great Blue Herons fish the creek, and hawks compete with vultures and ravens for the hiker’s attention.

When guests tell us their interests, Ranch personnel will offer suggestions and directions, provide marked maps, start you off and check on your safe return.

For a simple hike the cost is $50 per adult. There is no charge for children 12 years of age and younger accompanying their parents. For long and complex hikes, a guide will be provided at a charge of $100 for a 2 hour hike.
