The neighborhood itself

Build a Ramona–Alpine day around the stop that has a clock. Oasis Camel Dairy requires a ticketed Open Farm date, while Ramona Ranch is closed Tuesday and Wednesday; confirm either one before making the drive. Add Wright’s Field for an easy wildlife walk, then use Janet’s Montana Cafe for breakfast or lunch.

Cedar Creek Falls is a separate, permit-based plan, not a casual extra. Check same-day Forest Service alerts, download the dated permit before reaching the no-service trailhead, and carry the required gallon of water per person.

Know before you go

Active warning: As checked July 17, 2026, Cedar Creek Falls had dwindled flow and stagnant pool water; check same-day Forest Service alerts and do not plan a summer swim

Heat + water: Cedar Creek is exposed and requires one gallon of water per person; high heat can close access, and the dated permit must be downloaded before the no-service trailhead

Reservations: Oasis Camel Dairy has no daily walk-in hours, and Ramona Ranch is closed Tuesday and Wednesday — anchor the day to live calendars first
