Ramsey Canyon Creek flowing through the property. The water brings in all kinds of wildlife including whitetail deer, javelina, racoons, skunks and coatimundi to name a few.

Entrance and tree lined driveway down to the Hummingbird Cabin. You will drive by several Manzanita trees. Manzanita trees and shrubs are native to western North America. They are known for their orange to red smooth bark, and the unique and sometimes twisted shapes that they grow into. Unfortunately the species that grows here in Ramsey Canyon has an oil in it that acts as a fire accelerant so you can not plant them.
