It is not uncommon to run across wild burros & deer while on trail rides. If you like to desert ride you will need a REC permit to use state trust land.

Hunting: The surrounding public lands afford excellent hunting for quail, javelina, dove, cottontails, and the occasional mule deer. (Hunters are responsible for obtaining the appropriate licenses and permits, all available in Wickenburg or online.) Also 20 minutes to the East is the Ben Avery Shooting Range.
Stargazing: After the breathtaking desert sunsets you are far enough away from the city lights the cloudless skies and desert air lend themselves to great opportunities for stargazing and there is nothing like a full moon lighting up the Saguaros.
Day Trips: Our central location makes exploring Arizona affordable and convenient. You can enjoy Sedona's scenery, Lake Havasu's London Bridge, Scottsdale's shopping, Mariners/Padres/Royals/Rangers' spring training games, Quartzsite's RV festival, Phoenix's nightlife, and still be back the same night!
