Those at the ranch like to stay clean too, but you will get dirty on a pack trip. Expect it and enjoy it for a few days. All camps have streams nearby and most have live springs that produce clear, clean mountain spring water. Water is drawn from the springs. It’s cleaner than your municipal water supply. Everybody will pack in drinking water. You will take meals sitting around the campfire with plates on your laps. Food is cooked on the grill over the campfire. Guides put a great deal of effort into making camps comfortable. However, camps typically have large canvas wall tents that you can stand up in. All camps are accessed by horseback only, so there is no way to pack in unnecessary and heavy accoutrements. A six-pack of beer and a couple of bottles of wine will be packed in for you to enjoy. Horseback riding is the main activity at the ranch but there is plenty more to choose from. You will feel at home in the cozy inn. Stay for a night, a week or more. Each day is different at RANCH 4 SAISONS. In the evening, gather together to decide what activities you’d like to participate for the next day. After a wonderful breakfast the next morning, you are ready to groom and saddle your horse and now are ready to explore Vista mountains through clear running water. You can take a dip in the many natural lakes or waterfalls. Ride in the enchanting forest among birds and wildlife and enjoy a well deserved lunch or have wine-picnic or return at the ranch for lunch and relaxation. After lunch, get back on the trails for more adventure. Upon your return, enjoy the talk of the day while feeding your horse, unsaddle and enjoy a refreshment while dinner is waiting for you. During the evening under the stars, enjoy full relaxation in the sauna and spa. This is not only an incredible place, but it has an incredible spirit as well.
