Sierra Giganta / Ranch Culture
Highlights - This trip offers a wonderful
opportunity to meet some of the local folks
and learn the history and ranch culture of Old California. Tents and campfires under the stars are home for the 2 nights in the sierras. For the Ranch Garden Ride - the pride of the señoras at the mountain ranches are the flower gardens. In spring we travel to visit and admire the splashes of color, an attraction to migrating birds and brilliant hummers too !
