Cibolo Creek Ranch

The Ranch

Located in the picturesque Cienega Mountains with elevations ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 feet, Cibolo Creek Ranch, named for the buffalo that once roamed the region, is one of the oldest ranches in Texas. The ranch is composed of rolling hills and rugged mountain peaks, with roads and trails throughout. Through ongoing habitat restoration efforts, much of the 30,000 acre landscape has been returned to its pre-pioneer condition.

The Experience

Activities include motorized tours of the mountains, hiking and biking, various native and non-native hunting opportunities, horseback riding, viewing of Native American rock art, and opportunities to explore the ranch’s three historic forts built in the mid-nineteenth century.

Cibolo Creek Ranch is home to over 30 species of exotic and native wildlife including American bison, Roosevelt elk, mule deer, Barbary sheep, Carmen Mountain white-tailed deer, javelina, mountain lion, Black Buck, Gemsbok, Cape buffalo, Transcaspian urial and more.
