The 10k route starts by the historic Ranch House heading south through working corrals, turning west onto 2-track trail.  Mile 1-3 is on a rolling rocky ridgeline, with beautiful views of the mountain ranges surrounding you.

Just past Mile 3 you drop a steep hill, then cruise back home on soft 2-track trail, through mesquite forests and (perhaps) sleeping cattle.  The final surge to the finish will be a downhill run through the corrals back to the Ranch House starting line.

The 5k Route will be an out-and-back along the same route as the 10k, with smooth dirt terrain -- a great course for novice trail runners.

The 1-Mile will loop the Empire Ranch property, including horse corrals and the nearby Nature Loop.  Rolling hills are also easy for first-time trail users.
