The hike ended at the picnic grounds where a barbecue was already in progress. In The Sky gave me a rather timeless feeling. Yes, the year was 1997, but it could have just as easily been a hundred years ago. Kiddie Cowboys Don't be afraid to bring the kids to Tanque Verde. All the kids I spoke with during my stay were having the time of their lives.
Accommodations are luxurious and most have fireplaces in the room.
In the middle of summer heat, I didn't need mine, but I imagine they are a welcome and romantic addition at other times of the year. While the ranch itself has a colorful history spanning over 125 years, it's obvious that many of the bungalows are much newer, although no less charming. Tanque Verde's colorful past definitely helps to add an air of charm and mystery to the area. Back in 1904 bandits raided what was then called La Cebadilla, demanding money from Tanque Verde's first owner Emilio Carillo. When Carillo refused, he was hung from the beams of what is now the card room.
