Walking Trails

We currently have four trails for your walking enjoyment. These trails range from short and level to longer with steeper inclines. The trails are laid out to allow you access to many scenic spots on the Ranch. All our trails start and end at the Main Hall, and are marked by small metal triangular signs.

Each triangle is color coded so that you know which journey you are on. Any or all of the trails may be closed at different times of the year depending upon location of our livestock. Please obey all signs that temporarily close an area. They are for your protection!

Please pick a trail based on your physical condition. We want your walk to be a treat, not a task.

*Yellow Trail - steep to Overlook Ranch House at top of hill Distance one way is .6 mile
*Blue Trail - level to the end of the lake - goes thru the barnyard area. Distance is 1.5 miles.
*Red Trail - Mostly level with mild incline - goes past the campground and Labyrinth. If you take the shortcut total distance is 1.25 miles. Distance is 2.0 miles for the complete trail.
*Green Trail two thirds is level - third is strenuously steep to Road Runner Ridge To make a complete loop the Green Trail uses part of the Red Trail for half mile. The distance to the Sheepherders Wagon from where the red/green trails intersect is .2 mile. Distance is 1.6 miles
