Finally.....

It's the moment you've all been waiting for.....the most popular, fascinating and talked about sight on the ranch....Dean's HUMMINGBIRDS!!!

For those of you that have visited the ranch this summer, you have witnessed an amazing sight. Our hummingbirds here are so interesting to watch. And we don't just have one or two....as you know, we have TONS! Throughout the day, there will be up to five to ten buzzing around the feeders, and then as the evening settles and dusk draws near, there will be around twenty hovering over the sugar water! Our hummingbirds are quite energetic (to say the least), and enjoy seeing people dodge and flinch as they zoom past their heads. We give them quite the sugar rush as we have to refill the feeders three to four times a day! Enjoy these great photos taken by one of our new guests and now, new friends from this summer. Thank you David!

August Already?

Wow! We can't believe it's August! This season has gone by so fast. We only have a few weeks left, then we move into our corporate and meeting groups during the fall. The weather has still been great and the deer and elk are starting to show their faces again. The deer are a beautiful, rusty red color right now with bucks in full velvet. It's quite a sight.

Hayley competed in her first barrel racing competition this last weekend. Check out these great photos. :)
Staff will be leaving us soon as most of them are heading back to school. Hayley will be leaving for her sophomore year of college in a few weeks and Tyler starts his junior year in high school as well. We are going to miss all of them. Everyone has done such a great job this summer!
