2 years agoThis is very old ranch converted to a park place. The road to this place is very narrow but with good visibility ahead. Great place for photoshoot, hiking. Kids will enjoy the bunnies, goat, quail and some more small animals in the farm. If you are around visit and enjoy. No entry fee, enough parking space.

5 years agoIt would be ideal for first time visitors if the maps have the "you are here" marked down on the guides. The hike we did was easy. Some cows in between, but they were friendly. It's a pet friendly hike The views are nice too

a year agoI dropped by during weekday afternoon. The park was very educational. Multiple buildings on site, most of which are inaccessible. I did not go hiking because I brought my little ones.
