Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch

 


Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch is adjacent to Picacho Peak State Park, Arizona.  We had friends visit and because this venue had been recommended I purchased tickets online for the Monster Truck Tour, etc. It is possible to hike the Park and climb the peak via trails, as well as visit the ranch.  In Spring there may be many flowers on the peak. 

It was a lot of fun. In addition to the truck tour there is walking and hand feeding of a variety of critters, and a show consisting of a sheep dog herding a variety of ducks through a water park, etc. Here are a few photos.  Check online for tickets and hours. 

Highly recommended!
