There are two trails- yellow and blue the blue makes a work around if the rock-steps are too difficult for one to navigate. The yellow trail focuses on western heritage and the blue trail focuses more on local history. It is a nice area for a picnic and is easily accessible. If you're looking for a nice nature walk but don't have a whole day to commit - this place is great! Making a small donation will help them make improvements for future projects.

I used them ONCE and the only mistake I made was not booking my ticket as a ONE WAY and never come back! I often wonder how this place even stays in business. Yes they have wonderful travel packages, and friendly knowledgeable staff, but the locals are really not the vacationing/jet set type of people. Most consider a 15 minute drive out to the nearest road side rest area, and taking a picnic, their summer vacation. Most locals just spend their summers drunk on the river, or out on the lake - of course the lake charges fees so thats only for the fancy pants locals. Do yourself a huge favor - Call First Travel immediantly buy a ticket in any direction, be it by plane, train, bus, hot air balloon, slow boat, or row boat and GET THE ONE WAY TICKET AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!!

Fantastic staff, happy animals, well-kept facilities...what an incredible day we had. It feels like a dream. Easy day trip outing with the family or as a date- book your animal experiences online like we did at https://www.bluehillsranch.com . The staff was flexible to shift timing of the experiences so we didn't have to wait long in between- they were extremely accommodating and we never felt rushed either. The otter swim/playtime experience was originally what drew us, and it was even better than I'd imagined. Worth every penny! Then we got to feed and pet the capybaras, which were way friendlier than I thought they would be! The babies enjoyed some extra belly rubs too. Bottle feeding the kangaroo was so fun too- little Dundee was SO soft and loved all the pets, even gave us kisses! The giraffes were super friendly and greeted us every time we were nearby; feeding and getting quality time with them was an extra treat. The safari ride tour was also amazing- 5 of us fit comfortably and got to feed/see lots of animals that we wouldn't normally get to experience. We were surprised at how this place wasn't crowded at all in the middle of July when it is peak vacation season, so it really felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. They also have a beautiful main lodge area that is comfortable and welcoming with additional animals to enjoy.

Not to be confused with the actual product which I don't love. It's also a museum believe it or not! Dr. Pepper is a weird drink, and one which never really appealed to me for various reasons. It's not bad but it's not great. Like I said just weird. So when I first used to drink it, it tasted like medicine and chemicals, and honestly if I'm being straight up with you it still does. It's a bit like root beer but fresh homemade root beer has something special about it, a bottle of Dr P doesn't. They also make Snapple. Oh snap. Ple. Snapple used to be one of my favourite drinks in the world. I still like it quite a lot. The Lemon Tea was the first one I tried, age 16 in Washington DC wandering around at 7am in a bad part of town, but the Lemonade Tea took its place for awhile... I love both still but I guess I'm back on the lemon now though I used to drink this weekly and now it's less than annually. A lot of the flavours that I used to enjoy are now just bad, like Kool Aid, they probably always were but I was young and didn't know better, but I do think they have some good things going on, especially with the tea flavors. They're little on the sweet side, but you can still taste that tea and I do appreciate that. I have to give them a high rating for introducing me to lemon tea and being very symbolic of my love affair with America from the 1990s that never ended. They'd score 4 if not for that nostalgia factor.
