The experience begins with meeting our three sweet miniature donkeys at our desert ranch, set against gorgeous mountain and valley views.

We’ll then depart on the trail at a relaxed pace, guiding the donkeys past Joshua Trees and rock outcroppings bathed in golden hour light. After reaching a scenic viewpoint of the San Jacinto and San Gorgonio mountains, we’ll let the donkeys lead us on a lively downhill return to the ranch!

Treat yourself to an idyllic picnic in the high desert wilderness, all carried by our sweet mini donkeys in their pack saddle panniers!
This quintessential donkey experience begins with meeting Geronimo, Red Wing, and Wolfie in their corral to saddle them up with their pannier bags, matching bandanas, and tasty provisions. We’ll then embark on a leisurely hike winding through a desert canyon before reaching a picturesque spot to spread a blanket and enjoy a French-style picnic featuring fresh bread from Luna Bakery, marinated goat cheese, fresh berries, and other seasonal delights!
