Exploring the Napier Ranch Conservation Area
The Napier Ranch Conservation Area are lands under the care of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, but the grassland hills are still in use for grazing by Napier Ranch too. A gravel road leads up to the gate and we can enter the area to enjoy the benchland pastures and some of the hills above the Conservation Area (Crown lands).
A dirt track bears north to the old homestead.
More information on the Napier Lake Ranch can be found at this link.
The north end of the property was in use by ranchers so I stayed on the south end, doing a loop route up the hill. A video features some of the views of this special area:
