The ranch is a truly special and beautiful place in a part of Oregon that you must see to appreciate. Getting to know the O'Crowleys and the ranch made this so much more than just a sightseeing trip. My husband and I stayed at the ranch for two nights in late November and went for a 2 hour trail ride. We enjoyed great weather with crisp nights, amazing stars, and temperate days. We enjoyed exploring the area before we arrived -- there's a lot to see here: the Alvord Desert, Steens Mountain, the Diamond Craters area, the local hot springs, the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, and the beautiful sage brush country. But our favorite parts of the trip were our trail ride up above the ranch to the rim of the Kiger Gorge with beautiful views, and the family meals with Tim and Susan. We hope to be able to return for more riding and a longer stay!
