Native Ways

The sacred land at Wind Walker is a place of history, mystery and knowing. This land was used for thousands of years by Native Americans for ceremony, celebration and gathering. In our own way we carry on this native spirit by sharing our knowledge of these traditions and inviting you to participate in our sweat lodges, drumming circles, teepee village, and medicine wheel. It is said that there are places on earth that the energy is shifted in such a way to allow you to drop your shields and heal. Wind Walker is such a place.

Our ranch is in a valley surrounded by beautiful snow capped mountain ranges on all four sides. We have both groomed and un-groomed back-country downhill skiing in the local canyons. We pick you up at the bottom of the mountain and drive you back up to the top. This area is also rated as one of the top ten places in the world for kiteboarding, and we provide kiteboarding packages that include rooms and food. You can also ride our horses, snow shoe, cross country ski, take a sleigh ride, or journey on a snowmobile across newly fallen snow. View more videos and pictures of our winter activities.
