The Running R Guest Ranch is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. In 1992, the ranch was converted from an early 1900s working ranch into a full service guest ranch without loosing the authentic atmosphere and charm of the old times. Surrounded by memories of lost Indian tribes and battles for independence, the scenery is everything the movies show and more. The 230 acre ranch is located right next to a 5,500 acre state park that offers miles and miles of trails in the most scenic and unspoiled nature of Texas. Steep hills or rocky canyons, clear creeks or flat plains covered with an array of colorful wildflowers, the landscape shows its finest whether horseback riding, hiking or biking.
Horseback riding is the biggest attraction on the ranch.
With about 40 horses available for various levels of riders, the Running R Ranch offers the best horseback riding program in the area. Guests can choose from a relaxed one hour ride on the ranch up to a five hour tour into the state park, with a picnic lunch provided on the trail amidst breathtaking scenery. For those guests who want to improve their riding skills, lessons are available. Guests are also more than welcome to join the ranch hands roping or cutting and, for those brave enough, helping brand the Longhorns. The Running R Ranch is also within reasonable driving distance of many rivers with such romantic and historical names as Medina, Guadalupe, Sabinal or Frio.
