Ninemile Prarie Road

This is on the road just past the turn to the Chuckwagon Dinner site. I believe it may have one of the better mountain views.

The Saddle CLub

Get cozy with the horses pasturing near the saddle club. They are super friendly and make for the most amazing experience to while also snapping some beautiful images. The inside of the arena could be a fun place to bring studio lights for a more editorial feel.
