Rip van Winkle Ranch offers a scenic, half-hour guided tour over mountain trails, with options to ride on the back or in a tow-behind trailer. The tours are priced at $55 per adult and $35 per child, and the ranch is open seven days a week from 11 AM to 5 PM, with no need for reservations. Visitors must have a driver's license and provide a credit card for a damage deposit form. During the winter months, the ranch operates snowmobiles, while in the off-season, they offer a fleet of brand-new 2022 Polaris 4-wheel drive, fully automatic, and power-steering all-terrain vehicles. The tours provide an immersive experience, with visitors feeling like they're deep in the Alaskan wilderness. While the reviews are mixed, with some noting rough terrain, unclean bathrooms, and long ride durations, the majority of visitors report having a great time and recommend the experience, particularly praising the tour guide, Mike, for his excellent service. The ranch's first-come, first-served policy is seen as a plus, avoiding the need for non-refundable reservations made months in advance.
Good experience, as others have said, no rude attitude. The guides were helpful and spot on. Little training or instructions before start could have helped. The machines were old but worked fine, the views across the loop were good. Definitely worth the $55 spent..Could consider decreasing the ticket price for 2 members... read full comment
