Humvee Tour
The Mountain and Ranch Tour is our most popular activity. The mountain tour is a spectacular tour with breathtaking views from on high and visits to lovely ecological niches like Cíbolo Creek, Carrizal Springs, Native American rock art, and abandoned rock houses and ruins. In addition to the spectacular, stunning scenery, you should encounter many of the wildlife species that abound in the region. We have 30,000 acres, so there’s a lot to see.
Fort Tour
La Ciénega Fort and La Morita Fort Tours: Cíbolo Creek Ranch consists of many square miles that were once dominated by three old, historic adobe forts that date from the 1850s. Our guided tour illustrates the historical, cultural, and architectural features of these restored structures and their grounds. Besides the easily accessible main fort at Cíbolo, you are welcome to visit the other two historic adobe forts on the ranch at La Ciénega and La Morita on your own. We will provide you maps and keys in the ranch office, and even fix you a lunch if you desire. There is no charge if you go on your own.
ATV Tour
ATV (four-wheeler) tours can be arranged for guests who are licensed drivers and at least 16 years of age. ATVs are a fun way to see some of the sights on the ranch.
Horseback Riding
We guide a variety of horseback excursions through the mountains, mesas, and canyons of the ranch. Most of our trails originate from El Cíbolo and typically require a couple of hours. Longer rides and personalized itineraries can be arranged through the ranch office.
Spa Services
Cíbolo Creek has a small, but well-appointed, fitness facility. We have a wide variety of exercise equipment as well as free weights and cardiovascular machines. Afterward, you can relax in our hot tub, sauna, and whirlpool. Our expert massage therapists give luxuriating massages and facials in our two massage rooms. Massages and facials can be arranged with prior notice through our staff in the main office.
Star Parties
The stars at night are truly spectacular in West Texas. Our 12" Meade telescopes at El Cíbolo and La Ciénega allow exceptional views of our vast Big Bend skies. Please visit our office to schedule viewings and arrange for one of our staff to guide you through the evening skies.
Hiking
All of the roads and horseback riding trails are accessible on foot and dozens of miles of smaller trails also are available for your excursions. The ranch office will provide maps and ensure that you are properly equipped with a small radio and other essentials.
