There are many hiking options on and around the ranch:

Chalk Cliffs

Located at the top of the ranch and setting the wonderful backdrop for Deer Valley Ranch are the one-of-a-kind Chalk Cliffs. These cliffs are directly embedded into the side of Mount Princeton and are a wonderful hiking destination for guests of all ages. Legend has it that there are gold bars and other treasures located in the cervices, giving the cliffs an air of beauty and mystery, encouraging many guests to hike up and explore the lower reaches of the area. Though named the Chalk Cliffs, they are made of granite from which all other minerals have been leached, giving them a chalky texture and the ability to crumble when pressed.

Mount Antero

Of the two mountains that surround the ranch, Mount Antero is the most visible, with nearly every cabin on the property offering a spectacular and breathtaking view of the local 14er. Providing scenery that inspires paintings, Antero makes up the southern side of the valley, rising another six thousand feet above the ranch. Guests have the opportunity to scale the ridge that juts out from the mountain by horseback or hiking to reach Raspberry Gulch, situated on the eastern side of the mountain. The whole area offers spectacular sight-seeing through the valley and a peaceful area to escape into the wilderness.

Mount Princeton

Mount Princeton is one of the many local fourteen thousand-foot mountains, commonly referred to as 14ers. The mountain sets the expectation for arriving guests as it rises directly across from the main access road to the ranch, becoming the most prominent sight many guests will remember from their stay at Deer Valley Ranch. With the ranch located at the southern base of the mountain, guests will experience Mount Princeton in ways many others, both locals and tourists, are unable to. A multitude of trails extend across the side of the mountain, allowing our ranch guests to explore and adventure across Mount Princeton at their leisure.
