Rattlesnake Ridge, California

Rattlesnake Ridge is an agricultural preserve where wildlife and native plants flourish as nature intended.  Along with breathtaking views, you'll have a chance to view quail, road runners, owls, hawks, blue birds, hummingbirds, morning doves and a variety of lizards, including the adorable horned lizard.  The valley provides the perfect updraft for vultures which you may see soaring above.  The hillside hides many hidden gems as black tourmaline and other precious and semi-precious gemstones may be found under foot along the trail to the camp sites.  The sun sets over the nearby vineyard and winery, beginning the nighttime choir of frogs, toads and crickets to serenade your evening stargazing.
