The View from our "Bench" is stunning - and easily reached by horseback.
This time of year it's all about keepin' the cows behind the fence! Something that's not easy when cows live out "it's always greener on the other side" like no one else! First they go to one side and then look back and say hey! I want to go over there!
Come enjoy the adventure of chasing them on horse from one field to the next! You'll get to have fun in the corral this time of year too - chasing calves and separating the herd into different groups.

I know, I know, it's been awhile since I posted. Here are the brand new - beautiful cabin pictures - a sweet little cabin waiting for you to come experience the cool refreshment of fall on the ranch. PV Ranch Adventures is up and raring to go - a ranch full of fun you don't want to miss - come check us out!

It's a beautiful day and PV Ranch Adventures is open for business! Come and visit our new guest ranch during this colorful and warm fall season. We've been spending time on cattledrives chasing our cows back up the range. If you feel like a breathtaking trail ride now is the time to try out our mountains with all the beautiful fall colors coming out. Walking in our fields is a great peaceful experience right now where all you can hear is the quiet sound of the sprinklers.

Come to PV Ranch Adventures - experience the beauty of the ranch in fall! Here are some spectacular views - photos taken during huckleberry picking expeditions! Something that we can offer our guests as part of your ranching adventures. Gwen (Ranch boss's wife) makes a mouth-watering huckleberry pie! Note the rainbow in the picture below


Our cabin is ready and waiting for visitors! Take a trail ride through the yellows and oranges of our mountain ranges - Come on one of our last cattle-drives up into the Granby Provincial Parks, a great scenic horseback ride! Or come have a campfire with us on one of the best and little known hiking trails through the Granby Park along a beautiful creek and canyon.
We'll be having a grand opening to our guest ranch in October - enter a free draw to spend a night for free in the cabin.
See you soon!

'Things' you can experience

Hi there! This here is Brittani, you know the 'grunt worker'? Well I'm going to call myself the 'Ranch-Man'(short for 'Ranch Manager'). You know, some crazy funny things can happen while you're on the ranch, perhaps in the field. For instance, the other day I was out working in the field swathing(which means 'cutting the grass with a big ol' machine') and something in the grass caught my 'eagle eye'. I watched this 'thing' scramble through the alfalfa and my curiousity got the better of me. Soon I was standing up tall('cuz I'm quite tall) to try and get a better look. However, I still couldn't tell what it was and so I decided to stop the tractor, 'cuz what if it was a cute little animal in need of rescuing? As I sat there, watching it crawl through the grass, I desperately wanted to go find out what it was. You might ask what stopped me from immediatly jumping off the tractor and trekking through the grass? Well, partly because I was working and 'The Boss' probably wouldn't have wanted me to stop, beings we still had loads of field to cut down. The other part was a slight bit of fear. However, I decided in a quick moment, that nothing that small could be anything remotely dangerous. So off I jumped and started slowly walking towards this 'thing' that was walking away from me. As I got closer I thought I saw a touch of black. I started to get up close to it, say... 4 or 5 feet maybe? when suddenly it stopped. I took one more hesitant step towards it. At this moment, the 'thing' peeked its head above the grass. One look at that white stripe down its back and my mind could barely keep up with my frantic running legs. The now known 'skunk' also screamed (I'm sure of it) and started running the opposite way. The grass pulled at my legs and threatened to take me down, but the adrenaline coursing through my body wouldn't have it. With one final, slightly ungraceful leap I made it into the safety of the tractor seat. I then saw the skunk crawl out of the grass ahead of me and across the rows into the bush. Phew, we were both safe.
So there you have it folks, not only can you experience the hands on work end of things, but also all the wildlife!

Ranch boss Al spends a lot of time on the tractor during the summer baling rows upon rows of hay for the coming winter. (he doesn't like getting his picture taken but ha ha! he can't stop me!)
Today the girls (the volunteer ranch hands Lindsay, Larissa and Brittani - Al and Gwen's daughters) are scrambling to pick up all the hay bales before the big thunderstorm hits... That's another thing about ranchers - always keepin' an wary eye out for the weather changes!

Here are some of the long awaited cabin pictures!! And in all honesty they don't do justice to the beautiful interior. Notice the nice big windows though! And the high ceiling and loft area to the left. We haven't furnished it fully yet, and the kitchen area is still undergoing plumbing details, but we hope to have a GRAND OPENING in two weeks!! Look for more cabin photos next week!
