Nestled within the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy, Snow Mountain Ranch spans 2,000 acres, rising over 1,000 feet from the South Fork of Cowiche Creek to Cowiche Mountain's summit at 2,970 feet. Its intricate network of approximately 14 miles of trails meanders through diverse shrub-steppe habitats, home to 200 plant species, 125 bird species, and 64 butterfly species—exceeding the biodiversity of the entire British Isles.

Spring and summer invite avid birdwatchers and unveil a breathtaking wildflower spectacle. As autumn arrives, the riparian zone bursts into a kaleidoscope of colors, as oaks, aspens, cottonwoods, wild rose, and willows paint the landscape with vibrant hues of yellow, red, and orange.
