For the sake of our four-legged family members (Vivian and Ringo), we traveled to Canada and the High Chaparral Guest House to escape the fireworks frenzy that occurs over Independence Day in the United States. We could not have asked for a better getaway! The scenery was stunning, the accommodations were first rate, and the friendly hosts have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable (including a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival!). We enjoyed exploring the 80-acre property with the dogs and the numerous dog-friendly vineyards in the region. Right on the property, we saw multiple deer with their fawns, a black bear with her cub, more bird varieties than we could count (including quail with their many chicks), and many beautiful high-desert flowers. Thank you Linda and Bruce for your efforts to preserve and protect this unique land and for allowing us to visit it. The dogs had many good and active dreams each night after their adventures, and we have lasting memories of the beautiful High Chaparral! Thank you again for being dog-friendly‼
