Pilot Doug JacksonThe sun’s out and the weather’s warm and summer’s in full swing, so make time to head for the hills to enjoy forest adventure with folks who know all about western hospitality.

The ranch’s 100-yard air strip is a perfect fit for short, fast take offs and landings.
Pilot Doug Jackson said the small aircraft fly in just for the weekly gathering: “Just look at it – you could be in remote eastern Oregon – it’s so isolated, tucked up into this mountain valley and yet we’re just minutes from town. We love this place and the people who run it – it’s a great time.”
