If you enjoy blazing your own trail up a rugged hillside, down a wooded canyon, or through a brushy creek bed, the Turk Ranch is the place for you to visit. Are you tired of well defined trails with strict regulations about not leaving them? Then get away from it all and hike or bike the Turk Ranch.

This challenge will not be for everyone. You will need to be in strong physical conditon and aware of the hazards of the area (such as rattlesnakes and dangerous ledges, etc.). Many of the canyons will change with every turn you take. The trees will be different, the rock bluffs awesome. There are cactus blooming in the spring and always the possiblility of seeing wildlife.

For those who need less challenging terrain, there are many places close to roads from which you can take short walks with equal opportunities to see birds, wildlife and interesting plant life.

If mountain biking, bring ample tire repair equipment as nearly every plant has thorns. There are many roads that can be used if you want to spare the tires. This is a great place to practice your GPS skills.

Our day use charge for hiking or biking is only $10.00 per adult and $3.00 per child over 3 and under 18. Group rates available. Vehicles or ATV's may be used on existing roads only and not at high speeds. Special rules and safety suggestions will be given to you upon arrival. Advance reservations only. Ranch may be closed at certain times of the year.
