There is nothing more lovely than a day out in the woods, mingling with other families who love the outdoors, while the kids explore, discover and play. Spend the day exploring Rancho Mark West, a 120-acre forested property protected forever by Ag + Open Space. This fun-filled day of nature games may have your kids (and you!) leaping like a deer, creeping like a fox, or camouflaging like a lizard. At the end of the day, we’ll meet back at the historic barn to enjoy warm cider together.
