About this event

Western Trails Ranch is a hidden gem just 30 minutes north of Grand on Rt. 60, but so many are unaware of it.  If you are among those, this photo shoot will bring you…and your future houseguests…an exciting western experience.  Already a fan, please join us, too.


Why?  This 12-acre site offers a perfect, low key…FREE…”cowboy fix”, complete with team roping, plenty of horses, cowboy hats/boots/belts/buckles, and animated faces. No stadium seating to climb. You can stand or sit ringside and gather endless images.  Food and drinks are available from Dillon’s just steps from the roping action.  Plus, there’s a petting zoo, a separate bar and plenty of other entertainment listings to bring you back again and again.  Yes, it’s a MUST SEE place to enjoy!


  • Meet at  9:15 AM at the parking lot at the NW corner of W Goldwater Canyon Dr and N Remington Dr for a 9:30 AM departure. Riders will be assigned to vehicles before departure.

  • Travel time to the shoot will be approximately 30 minutes. 

  • We will shoot for a couple of hours and then break for lunch at the Dillon’s restaurant on site.  https://dillonsrestaurant.com/ranch-menu/

  • Return back to The Grand at approximately 1:30 to 2 PM.


TIPS:

The several acre site is largely level, hard-packed dirt with some partially paved areas.  Easy walking.  Closed toe shoes are recommended.

  • Bring with you: Fully-charged cell phone and camera batteries, water, sun screen.

  • Tips on photo gear/accessories that may be helpful:  Zoom-capable lens, dust cloth.

FEES:

  • There is no entry fee.

  • Cost for Fuel will be $5  per participant (excluding drivers).
