ECO-ADVENTURES

Brasada Ranch is home to miles of paved and un-paved trails, and of course thousands of acres of natural beauty, wonder, flora and fauna. Around every twist and turn there is something to be discovered. Two adventures you will not want to miss are below and custom eco-adventures, for all ages, may also be arranged by speaking with our Naturalist Team at the Athletic Center.

Volcanoes, History and the High Desert: Naturalist Adventures with Jack

Join Jack Newkirk – Brasada Ranch’s resident naturalist - on a scenic hike through the stunning high desert. Brasada Ranch is nestled up against the flanks of an ancient basaltic outcropping, and every inch of the landscape here holds a story just waiting to be told. Jack’s passion is sharing all the fascinating and fun details about the plants, animals and people who have made this rugged landscape their home over the centuries. Children beware! If you’re not careful, you might actually learn something! Bring sturdy walking shoes and water. And since the views are second to none, you might want to bring a camera as well! Seasonally and by appointment. Call Brasada Adventures for more details.
