NN Bar Ranch was a working ranch. Where cows are pulled from pasture so NN Bar Ranch can host Dog trials and other events. The trail will cover all types of Eastern Washington riding, this easy flowing trail takes you from water holes under aspens, below rock faces, up a canyon into a valley that leads you along a lake. This is ranch life at its finest.
There is dry camping in two nice big pastures with stock water. There will be hoses for fresh water as well and there will be porta-potty's.
Tying to trailer, highline between trailers (no trees available), hot-wire, corrals or whatever you want to use is permitted as long as your horse respects it and stays in.
