Morning walks now include gravel and dirt roads where the pups can roam off-leash.

Single-track within a mile and a half from the shop.

The views from Barnes Butte are beautiful!

Three families of Canada geese nested on site this spring. We enjoyed watching the goslings grow, take their daily strolls and eventually take flight.

In late February a yellow-bellied marmot (aka “whistle pig”) poked his head out of the ground about 20 yards east of the shop. Merlin, as we called him, was soon joined by Madam Mim and four pups who played in the yard and kept Mac and Moxi on their toes.

Our neighbors like to horse around (both puns intended).

The Crooked River Wild & Scenic Section is a short drive south from the shop.

There are numerous campgrounds (no hookups) and day-use areas along the Wild & Scenic Section of the Crooked River.

Even if you don’t have time to camp, the drive along the Wild & Scenic Section of the Crooked River is well worth your time.

We’ve only spent one night in the Ochocos, and it was glorious. We hope to get out and explore them more in the future and encourage you to get out there and let us know the best spots!
