Sun Rock Ranch - Junction City

There is no better place to explore the legacy of the western frontier and a real ranch experience than at Sun Rock Ranch. 3,000 acres situated on the western edge of the Kansas Flint Hills, this authentic working horse and cattle ranch is a family owned operation that welcomes guests with an informal and friendly environment.

Even though they do not have to worry about Indian raids after a century and a half, guests might still feel their spirits while horseback riding on the same open prairies and trails used by Indians and pioneers alike. You can even spot original Indian tree markings and ruts carved into the native stone from wagon trains. There are remains of pioneer homesteads found throughout the ranch for guests to explore.

Because the ranch caters only to a few guests at a time , they are able to provide a very personalized experience for each guest. Families and individuals are encouraged to participate in virtually every ranch activity, depending on guest ability and interest.

Normal ranch activities include working cattle and imprinting newborn foals (TLC for new babies), depending on the season. These activities can be a fun and educational addition to any vacation. For guests who prefer to take it easy and just wind down from city living, the tranquil surroundings of the ranch are just what you need.

In addition to morning and afternoon horseback rides, fishing is available at any of the 5 ranch ponds or guests may decide to take a trip to nearby Milford Lake (the largest lake in Kansas).
