Historic ranch opens to hiking, agate hunting

Body
The historic Kokernot o6 Ranch traces its roots back to early 1800, and has largely remained off limits to anyone outside of its cattle operations or the occasional guided hunt since then. Sprawling between Alpine and Fort Davis at 108,000 acres, the ranch spans some of the most beautiful high desert country in Texas.
