RANCH ACTIVITIES
(Memorial Day thru October)

 

There is plenty to do at and around the Old Yella Dog Ranch. Glimpse into the Western American past, experience breathtaking western sunrises and sunsets, and just enjoy exploring. Don’t forget your binoculars – the stars at night are big and bright!

Cattle

Cattle Drives & Round Ups – you just might catch a glimpse of some cattle drives and round ups in the area, done the way it was in days gone by. Well, almost the same way! Watch for local cowboys and cowgirls doin’ their job the old-fashioned way.

  • Astronomy – look up and you’ll be amazed at how close the stars appear, like you could reach out and touch them.

  • Bird Watching – from dove to golden eagles – don’t forget your binoculars

  • Hunting - Hunters welcome during season.

  • Photography – our picturesque rock outcroppings make a beautiful background, as do our cave, balancing rock, fields of sage, aspens and junipers. Look skyward for our feathered friends or a spectacular full moon rising, which you may catch during your stay with us.
