On this 4 hour tour (9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.) of the ranch you will see the results of 50+ years of habitat restoration. We will show you projects which demonstrate principles of good stewardship.
You may also see dinosaur tracks, fossil beds, a herd of endangered Scimitar-horned Oryx, the “Chiroptorium” which is a man made bat cave designed to hold a million Mexican Free-tailed bats. You’ll walk the nature trail and then enjoy Madrone Lake as you watch “The Rain Machine.”
Transportation is on the Bluebonnet, an open air trailer with a shade bonnet, so dress for the weather; and don’t forget a hat!
Note: Public tours are designed and intended for individuals who cannot come up with the group minimum size for a private group tour (20). The maximum number of people we can handle on a tour is 40 so if you have a group of people interested in touring the ranch, we suggest you schedule a private tour at a different time. For public tours we will not be able to give any one group more than 10 spaces so that we can keep enough open spaces for individuals.
