  • Just up the road from Pine Springs visitor center is Frijole Ranch. The ranch itself is a museum, but this is also the location of a really good loop trail to Smith Springs. It’s a nice trail and has some amazing views, but there are a couple of difficult bits. Its well worth doing. Its well worth doing. The ranch itself is also worth looking round. Its clever how they used to manage the water.
  • Ranger Michael Haynie was very friendly and informative. The location of the home is absolute heaven on Earth. The history of the Smith family is fascinating and Mr. Smith was way ahead of his time.
