​Take advantage of our dark skies right here at the ranch and nearby! In April, 2019, the Nevada Massacre Rim Wilderness Study Area (less than 10 miles from our ranch) was designated a Dark Sky Sanctuary (only seven in the world with this exclusive designation), which is a place that has an “exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is protected for its scientific, natural or educational value, its cultural heritage and/or public enjoyment.“ According to Friends of Nevada Wilderness, the Massacre Rim WSA stands out because it is so far from any major populated areas, making light pollution there next to immeasurable. People lucky enough to venture there on a clear moonless night will not only see the enormity of the Milky Way but will also be awestruck to view our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, with the naked eye.  The above photos were taken right from the ranch!
