Sample Itinerary
The following is a sampling of what a seven-night (one week) stay at the ranch can offer. This is just a suggested itinerary for guests seeking an all-round wilderness eco-adventure vacation. We are very flexible and design custom holidays for everyone.Our horseback riding program is our main event and some guests come to ride our amazing horses all day every day, others not. In June and September, we have a non-riding Relax in Nature package. Fishing is also especially good during those two months. Stays range from three nights to two weeks, with the average being a six night/five day vacation.

Morning trip to Crater Lake with our son as your guide (our resident Naturalist). It's a 10 minute drive from the ranch to the trail head, then a short scenic hike. Play in the waterfalls, which are like a natural Jacuzzi that form a bubbling pool to swim in. Do some spin cast fishing for small river trout—especially fun for kids—then back to the lodge for lunch. In the afternoon you can go for a mountain bike ride, or horseback ride (unguided for those with proven ability). 
Kids can try gymkhana (games on horseback) with our daughter as their coach (she's an accomplished rider—rodeo barrel racer). Swim before hors d'oeuvres and dinner. Optional meadow soccer or baseball game with the ranch staff and other guests after dinner.
