Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
Landmark
Open Details
The abundance of nature overtakes the vision as we reached the state park. I felt stunned as I stared at the tall mountains with rugged sides that had sporadic growth. Several things are offered here. You can book a tour of the historical site, go on a trail, or just wander around the area. Take a drive on the scenic route (certain months it needs to be booked) and explore the area by car. There's nice shady spots to have a picnic too! It costs $10 to enter the park, which is well worth it!
