The Goat Pens is an area of the ranch that is located in a valley between the only deposits of red and white sandstone in the area. This unique topography made the Goat Pens a desired film location for many westerns and other movies back in the 80's and 90's. It is a very scenic but secluded area of the ranch with easy access directly off of the South County Road.
