    We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Piping Rock Horses! My sister and I both agreed it was…read morethe best horseback ride we've ever done. Our guide, Kiera, was fantastic -- knowledgeable, relaxed, encouraging, and clearly wonderful with both people and horses. The scenery was breathtaking, and the ride felt like a real adventure rather than just following a trail in a line. We crossed a beautiful river twice, rode through gorgeous mountain terrain, and truly got to experience the landscape. My horse, Buckwheat, was such a character and made the ride even more fun. We especially appreciated that the ride felt personal, peaceful, and authentic. You can tell the horses are well cared for and that the guides genuinely love what they do. Highly, highly recommend this experience if you're looking for a scenic and memorable ride in the Truckee/Tahoe area!

    Our daughter had the most wonderful experience at Farm and Pony camp. It was a perfect blend of…read morespecial time with the farm animals (holding baby bunnies! walking goats!), learning to care for the animals (branding manes and tails, picking horseshoes, touring the stables), crafts, and pony rides. And I was blown away by the pony show on Friday morning! The counselors were so caring and great with the kids and 4-H values and true equestrian skills are evident in all the kids learn in a short 5 days. I cannot say enough what a gem this place is. Only one exit down the road from downtown Truckee but a world away and we could pick her up at lunch and still have a family afternoon together. We felt so lucky that we found out about this camp. We will definitely be back!

    Really disappointed with this camp. The description said that the kids would learn about Nevada…read morehistory and do activities like gold panning, lasso practice, campfire cooking, and other Wild West themed activities, but my son said none of that happened and he didn't learn anything about Nevada history at all. One of my biggest concerns was the handling of medications. My child takes medication twice a day, and it was apparently his responsibility to remind the counselors when it was time to take it. On more than one occasion, he had to wake his counselor up to let them know it was time for his medication. Had I not set alarms on his phone, he likely would have missed doses. When parents entrust a camp with their child's medication schedule, it should not fall on the child to make sure the adults are doing their job. The biggest issue was on the last day. The kids were told they couldn't go eat breakfast until they were finished packing. My son was the last in his group to finish packing. By the time he was done, all the food was gone because the other kids had already eaten and gone back for seconds and thirds. He eventually got a bag of chips and a piece of fruit after telling the counselors that he hadn't received any breakfast. No child should be left without a proper meal, especially when meals are supposed to be provided. On top of that, some of the counselors seemed disinterested in interacting with the kids, disorganized, and overwhelmed. From what my son described, the camp felt like a free-for-all with very little structure or direction. Overall, the camp did not deliver what was advertised, and we will not be returning. In my opinion, before offering any more overnight camps, the organization needs to provide better counselor training, improve supervision and medication management, and create a clear plan to ensure the activities listed in the camp description actually take place.

    Stay Safe due to the Davis Fire…read more.. Quality/Quantity - Nice small visitor center. Educational, small gift shop, and has clean restrooms. Plenty of volunteers/team members. So many different trails. A very easy paved 0.4 mile loop hike, gravel path hikes, and of course, rough dirt hikes. Potential flooding, especially after a huge winter. Stay on the trails, as many paths have natural erosion. Stay safe. There used to be a fish hatchery here, see website. Not sure if it closed...? Also lots of wildlife; again, stay safe - Coyotes, bobcats, mule deer, black beers (we get this at the house also, LOL), mountain lions, rodents (too many to name), bats, birds, reptiles, etc. Atmosphere - Visitor center may be small, but they are packed full of information. Also cool decor, see pictures. There are also campsites, BBQ, picnic areas, volleyball courts, horse shoe, clean bathrooms, and plenty of parking (cars, RVs, buses, etc). There is even a stage in Eagle Meadows for events. Open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm (hours are also seasonal, see website). Clean bathrooms throughout the different parking lots and camp sites. Horse trails and minimum bike trails, see picture. Visitor center; it was actually open today. Thank you volunteers. Last time we were here was during the winter; what a difference with the seasons. Service - Self-service today. Price - Free today. Owner Comment - Thank you Washoe County for another great park!

    My daughter (age 11) had an awesome first time visit to Two Rivers this past summer. She stayed for…read more1 week and loved all of it - I think the balance between good soccer training and the fun outdoor bonding experience was really ideal. She immediately asked if she could go again next year and bring more of her teammates along. We said yes, and we'll also be sending our 9 year old son along with her.

    This is the kind of camp that makes me wish I could be a kid again. No really. After picking up my…read moredaughter here this summer, I have total camp-wayback-jealousy... whatever that means. OK - What it means is this: I want to be a kid and go to a camp in the Sierras, where I get to live in a cabin in the woods, with my friends, sing songs around the campfire at night, eat great food, swim in the river during off hours....and Oh Yeah - Play soccer twice a day with guidance from professional-grade coaches from around the world (mostly Europe.) And then end the week with a "World Cup" playoff where each training group forms a team representing a different county. Why didn't they have this place when I was a kid? Oh wait, they did. Two Rivers has been around for 42 years now. My daughter has been lucky enough to enjoy visits over two of them so far. My visit here blew me away. Not only did the camp owner greet me and chat with me in the parking lot, he stood up during the closing ceremonies and spoke fondly of the counselors and the soccer family they've built here. Many of the trainers and counselors are repeats (with one coming back here for 17 years straight). During some of the example campfire songs and tributes from the staff, the owner became a little choked up and had to pull out a tissue. It was very sweet. My daughter had a great time and made some great memories. I hope the soccer bug stays with her and she decides to return again next summer. If she does, maybe I'll get her an oversize bag so she can sneak me in.

    The hubby passes by this place when he has to go to meetings at Truckee Meadows Water Authority…read more. He even went online and got the business hours too! Really, I think there was a hidden agenda encouraging me to go, because he knew I'd buy something, which would mean another home cooked meal! I entered on the side of the building, and there were instructions to ring the bell for help. There was a room that had a small cold case. I already knew what I was going to get and it was in the case. Some beef bones and a packet of Korean ribs. I asked if they had bacon, but not at the time. The bacon has been requested a lot, and they purchase the pig from a third party, so she just said to call before coming down. The bones are big for my dogs, but I will see next time if they can cut them in half. I'll definitely be back when they have bacon.

    Wolf Pack Meats mmmm mmmm!…read more Got some ground meat here and man did it bring it to the table! I also bought a steak to try it out and both these items were delicious. The meat was frozen in a sealed plastic bag. I was a little disappointed to see that at first but I tried it anyway. I bought 3 lbs of ground beef and a New York style cut steak. I took them home and used my best receipt for burgers. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised. I thought I was really going to hate them and be super disappointed. I like it and so did everyone else. I think I did make the paddy's to big because man was I struggling to get the second burger down. It's like when you like the taste of something so much you want to keep eating because you just can't stop. This place made me eat to much burger. Thanks for making me eat to much Wolf Pack Meats. I blame you for being to delicious. I will say parking is sparse but you don't have to worry about it to much. This place needs an update or a remodel of the building if you really want to by hyper critical but I don't really the damn meat is delicious. Keep killing those lovely delicious cows for me thanks! Well, I will definitely be back for more. Just thinking about those damn burgers make my mouth water. Damn it! I WANT BURGER NOW! Haha thanks for reading my review.
