We love seeing the snow on our nearby peaks!

👉The Arizona Trail Association is asking for your help to prevent trail damage during recent rains.
🔸Please consider the damage you could cause to trails when planning your adventures after heavy precipitation.
🔸All users can cause damage to trail tread and the trail corridor. A horse or mule rider will leave large post holes in the trail tread making it uncomfortable to ride or hike when soils dry and dislodging soil that eventually makes its way downhill, adding to erosion. Mountain bikes leave ruts which also make trail use uncomfortable for hikers and other bikers, and those ruts funnel water allowing it to speed up and take more soil downhill, sometimes even rutting through constructed drainage structures.
🔸Hikers, bikers, and even equestrian users try to avoid the wet muddy spots by moving off the trail onto vegetation. This can cause a 30-inch trail to become 6 feet wide in some places. Volunteers have put a tremendous amount of work into making these trails safe and sustainable.
🔸Please help keep them in top condition by making alternative plans for recreation whenever soil conditions are wet or muddy. And please turn around if you think you will cause damage.

Our Texas Rangers started blooming earlier this week and they are just as accurate as a barometer to predict weather changes! Sure enough a couple days later a big rainstorm moved through the area.

So many of our guests are bird watchers, and we are so excited to share with all of you the newest birds which have been sighted around the property.
We believe these are Western Screech Owls and they have been very active this last week here at The Casitas at Smokey Springs Ranch.
We welcome all bird watchers to come and stay for awhile, relax, and enjoy watching the local host of wildlife from your patio.
