Spring is the time to “reawaken” your senses. Join us here at The Ranch in March to do just that. It’s the height of our wildflower season, and each morning you will wake up to gorgeous sunrises that light up green mountains speckled with colorful flowers. You will be inspired to embark on morning hikes with picturesque views. And of course, everyday our talented presenters will reawaken your passion to live your best days yet.
Every week Rancho La Puerta offers a complete program of over 60 different classes and activities (four or more every hour) led by our expert staff. In addition, we invite—each week—some of our favorite “presenters” to join us and share their specialty. We consider them our guest stars, and you may want to time your stay to the presence of one of these presenters.
