3R Ranch Adventure

 You will depart early in the morning from the parking area across from The V6 Coffee Shop in Marathon, Texas. All transportation to and from the ranch will be provided.


Once at the ranch, you'll use an off-road vehicle to navigate the vast landscape, allowing you to explore remote areas and witness the beautiful ocotillo groves that are abundant across the property. As you explore, you'll gain a new appreciation for what it must have been like for early homesteaders driving cattle across this rugged terrain, and the incredible obstacles they overcame to survive. You'll have the chance to see wildlife like mule deer, elk, and blue quail, and if you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of a black bear or mountain lion.


After a morning of exploration, you will stop for a provided lunch, followed by more sightseeing. As the day ends, you will be treated to a breathtaking sunset view of the majestic Sierra del Carmen mountains as your authentic, on-site cooked steak dinner is prepared. You'll enjoy your dinner around a warm campfire with s'mores for dessert under the Milky Way.

The following morning, after a full cooked breakfast, you'll pack up and head out for one last round of exploration before returning to Marathon around lunchtime.
