Adventure Tips

Stay hydrated throughout your ranch activities

Bring plenty of water given the Hill Country’s dry climate and active days.

Wear sturdy footwear for uneven terrain

Hiking and trails around the ranch can be rocky; good shoes prevent injury.

Apply sunscreen daily

Texas sun is strong year-round; sun protection is important even on cloudy days.

Take binoculars for wildlife viewing

Early mornings and evenings offer the best chances to spot deer and native birds.
