There are many hidden gems in Southern California. We recommend you take it easy on your vacation. Rankin Ranch is the best place to take a moment for yourself. Sleep in, go for a leisurely stroll on the Ranch, take an afternoon nap, and enjoy a frothy beer at the end of your night. These are only a few leisurely hidden gems you can find on the Ranch and in Southern California. Let us take you through some more relaxing things to do on the Ranch.
- Horseback riding is a big one here. There is a guided horseback riding hike almost every day of the week. There are approximately one-hour trail rides, twice each day, except Sundays (morning-only hikes).
- Lake Julia is not far. If you require some peace and quiet, there aren’t many better ways to do that than fishing.
- Getting outside of the city has its benefits. Look up. The stargazing on the Ranch is spectacular.
- As the day winds down, you might need to take a moment to reflect or catch your breath. The Ranch is ideal for long evening strolls along our country roads.
- Have some delight in visiting Sarah’s Farm. Children can bottle-feed a calf and watch the chickens search and peck for food.
- Hike along Walker’s Basin Creek. It is a fantastic place to enjoy the wonderful nature surrounding the Ranch. Many people make the trek to the “Gossip Rock.”
- Bring your bike and enjoy the country roads. You could spend the afternoon biking on the seven-mile circle around the valley or pedal to the Rankin Cemetery, about one mile away from the Ranch headquarters.
- We have a cool and relaxing swimming pool to enjoy. Take in the beautiful view of the valley from in the pool or from lounging in the pool chairs.
