A self-guided interpretive trail would lead visitors through the historic core and research grounds. The trail would only be open to visitors when a staff member or ranch volunteer is on duty. The trail would wind through the northwest, central, and southeast portions of the ranch, and would include various interpretive stations (e.g., signs, kiosks) that present various key ranch themes (i.e., water in the desert, stewardship, history). Interconnecting segments of the trail would be constructed to meet ADA accessibility guidelines, including hard surfacing such as concrete or asphalt.

The proposed concrete trails/walkways would total approximately 1.5 miles throughout the site and the soft surface trails would total approximately 0.75 miles.
