Activities at Golden Eagle Ranch
Hiking. Many hiking trails are available right here on
the ranch. Terrain is hilly. Take a walk down to the
creek which runs all year. See if you can find our
Indian grind hole which was used to grind acorns into
flour by local Native peoples. Remember to wear good
sturdy shoes.
Bird Watching. There are many varieties of birds
that live in this area. See how many you can spot on
the ground, in bushes and trees. My personal
favorites are the hawks that soar through the valley.
Don't forget those wild turkeys who visit the ranch twice
a day. Remember to keep a safe distance from all wild
animals.
Observing Ranch animals. You cannot go into their
enclosure or let them out, but the resident ranch
animals are amusing to observe.
Stargazing. Most nights the skies are clear and you
can easily see many stars, constellations, and some
planets. If you are really lucky to be at the ranch when
Chris gets out his telescope, you will be in for a real
treat.
Viejas Bowling - New! - 12 lanes
Campo Railroad & Museum-- ride a train. See great
railroad historical items.
