Arrangements (with precise directions) must be made in advance for access to this private ranch and lodge. Several of the sites on the GTCBT are privately owned, so please respect the wishes of the owners and arrange for access well in advance. El Canelo Ranch is famous among birders for the Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls that reside in the yard around the Inn. Few places in the Valley offer a more comfortable (or assured) accommodation for seeing this rare tropical owl. Cave Swallows nest on the ranch and White-tailed Hawks are frequently seen in this brush country.
