Backbone Trail in Bloom

Program

Each day is a point-to-point hike, where guests depart with our expert guides from one trailhead and finish at another. Transportation will meet the group at the end of each hike and bring everyone back to the Ranch. Once back on property, guests can continue enjoying the full Ranch experience, including fitness classes, massages, spa treatments, and other scheduled programming.

Guests stay on property for the duration of the program, with daily departures typically around 7:20 AM (with slightly earlier departures if warmer temperatures are expected).

Hiking Itinerary

The program is designed so that most hikes last around four hours, though shorter two-hour options are available for those who prefer a lighter pace. Because each hike travels between trailheads, finish times vary, and faster hikers may have the opportunity to add extra mileage along the way.

Sample Itinerary (subject to change):

• Monday: 9.5 miles (Trailer Canyon Trailhead to Dead Horse Trailhead)
• Tuesday: 11 miles (Hondo Canyon Trailhead to Piuma Road Trailhead)
