Entrance to the Indian Peak Ranch, Mariposa, California

Indian Peak Ranch

The entrance gate to Indian Peak is a bit off the road and faces south, so if you're arriving from the north (almost certain to be the case - see the map if you're a skeptic), it won't jump out at you. Paying attention to the road instead of the wildflowers can save you from driving past it and realizing you need to double back again once you get to Raymond. On the other hand, if you do go past it and have to turn around, you definitely won't miss it on the way back. Keeping track of the odometer readings that the ranch's website provides can also help.
