5.0Alpacas at Marquam Hill Ranch(106 reviews) - Unique animals, friendly people Sunday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality & Gift Shops • Ranches
Who we are…Alpacas at Marquam Hill Ranch is an 18 acre ranch in Molalla, Oregon. We are directly in between Molalla and Silverton. We have 80 Huacaya alpacas. We breed our animals for the fineness of their fiber, with a soft handle and good density. Our goal is to create a long term fineness in all animals that mimics the feel of cashmere or better. Presently more than half our herd is under 21 micron. We have white as well as a variety of other colors of alpacas. There are 22 natural colors of alpacas as defined by the Alpaca Registry. Bill is an AOBA Certified Fleece and Performance Judge. His education helps in the purchases and breeding of our alpacas. In the future we will be holding seminars on fleece evaluations, breeding selection, business plan write ups and fiber arts. If there is a topic you’d like to learn about, we’ll find the instructor and create the class. Or you can just stop by and we would be happy to answer your questions. We have a large fleece room dedicated for presentations and a ranch store for a quick pick up gift for yourself or someone special.Our herd consists of eight studs we either fully own or own in partnership. They are Snowmass Trilogy, Ezekial's Challenger of Marquam Hill, Crescent Moon’s Ezekial, Crescent Moon’s Accoyo Elizario, Accoyo America Kodiak, Nirvana of AMHR, Denver of AMHR and Emerald Cloud's Javelin.We love to talk about these amazing animals. Whether it is a question on how to get started, breeding questions, animal husbandry, the investment aspects (Bill is a retired CPA) or anything else that you might be interested in, please feel free to stop by, give us a call or drop us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!See more..

5.0Double Mountain Ranch(79 reviews) - Great Columbia River gorge waterfall trail ride! Ranches
Great mid summer evening ride in the Columbia River gorge to dry creek falls! My husband and I had a great private ride this summer with the owner on her lovely horses! My horse Cinder a Missouri fox trot breed has a lovely smooth gait! Very comfy for trail riding. We didn’t pass one person on the PCT Riding to and from the falls! We had the Forrest all to ourselves! The Horses are very well trained and responsive, and well cared for. As we are experienced riders, and she let up ride ahead. We rode with them also last summer 2019 on our anniversary for the mountain panorama ride which is also another very good ride! The nice thing about this outfitter is that they will match you To the appropriate horse based on your riding experience and Taylor the ride to your ability which means they can offer something for riders of all levels. Can’t wait until they open back up for next Season!See more..

3.0Flying M Ranch(5 reviews) - Wonderful horseback riding experience! Ranches
Today we had a 90 minute horseback trail ride at Flying M Ranch. It was a wonderful experience. The staff were wonderful to work with. The trails were great and the horses were well picked for each person in our group. We drove about 1 1/2 hours to get to Flying M Ranch and it was well worth it!See more..
I attend the mens Bootcamp NW every 6 months at Camp Washington in the spring and fall. This is the most amazing place. The facility is totally deluxe. Great food, service and staff, meeting places, and cabins. The hiking in the adjacent hills are perfect for solo thinking and breaking a sweat. I love this place.See more..

The James Cant Ranch Historic District in the Sheep Rock Unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is an interesting place with beautiful scenery to learn about ranch life in the early 1900's. The district has several interesting features including the main house (which was closed when I visited in June), a sheep shearing barn, and a variety of ranch equipment in outdoor display. There is a short nature trail, but I did not find it quite informative. The place is worth a stop, and perhaps it would be more interesting when the house is open for visits inside.See more..
