Ranches and Gardens: Sierra de la Giganta
NOTE: These trips are run on a custom basis: if you are interested in setting up something for yourself or a group, please contact us to talk about dates and rates.
For the Ranch Garden Adventure - 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 !
This trip is a chance to experience the ranch culture and natural beauty of the Sierra de la Giganta. Days are spent riding mule trails that wind through canyons, ridges, and desert gardens, visiting small ranches and the historic mission village of San Javier. Along the way, we share meals with local families, learn about the region’s history and traditions, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of mountain life. Some rides take us through blooming oases or along little-used dirt roads; evenings bring campfire dinners, the sounds of the desert, and a starry sky.
