Eden Valley Guest Ranch.

Resident Wildlife at Eden Valley in Okanogan Highlands, Washington

Many wildlife species make their home at Eden Valley Guest Ranch in the Okanogan Highlands of Washington and can be seen from the cabins.

Since we only have ten cabins and few guests, many of the wildlife do not feel pressure.  They keep a distance and will maintain vigilance for strangers, but some are still close enough for pictures.  Spoting scopes are wonderful.

Our wildlife includes: coyote, black bear, badger, bobcat, chipmunk, skunk, whitetail deer, mule deer, bats, garden snake, yellow bellied marmot, Columbia ground squirrels, cottontail rabbit, porcupine, wood rat, shrew, mice, vole, and weasel.  More rare to see are elk, cougar, snowshoe hare or moose as they tend to be a few miles from the ranch. Elk and moose cruise through from time to time.

The birding at Eden Valley and Okanogan Highlands in general is great all year.  We have a "Birding" tab above.

So guests will understand when we say, "Please do not feed the wildlife".  Guests might think they are feeding a chipmonk, when in fact it might be a little black bear that comes in for those hot cakes.
