Where else can you say that you stayed at a goat ranch on the northern side of the San Gabriel mountains right on the San Andreas Fault?
The hosts, Gloria and Christian were wonderful and their employees, if that’s what you can call their goats and dogs, were extremely friendly and helpful. If you were looking for the camping experience but still want electricity, running water, and a bed this is a place for you. There’s plenty to keep you occupied in your lodgings: books, puzzles, maps and more but you’ll want to wander the large property and meet the critters and explore nature.
There are lots of Joshua trees. So you don’t have to go to Joshua Tree to see them.
Angeles Crest Creamery is conveniently located near the Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve, Saddleback Mesa State Park, the Antelope Valley Indian Museum, and the Museum of Art and History (MOAH).
Don’t let the fact the place almost burned down a couple years ago in a huge wildfire to keep you away. This is nature and exploring both the burned and unburned areas is extremely interesting.
I am already planning a return trip.
