A truly wonderful experience - many thanks to hosts Val and Stephanie!

The ranch itself is tucked in a valley surrounded by the Trinity Alps, with woods and meadows all around. Plenty of room to walk and wander even within the ranch, with national forest trailheads within a 10 minute drive. Felt very safe and at ease - there's a magic here that will make you want to stay beyond your plans. If you get a chance for a horseback ride be sure and go for it - the route through the ranch is pretty but not too challenging, and Val's knowledge of horses should put even a first-time rider at ease.
