14 Jan 06. The SMART bunch has come out to the west side of Boerne, TX, with the intent of touring this little secret attraction just recently opened to the tourist public. About 2.5 miles west of Boerne on SH 46, admission is $10 a head (less for children). The brain child of a retired California police officer and his brother-in-law, the ranch was originally conceived as a place where western movies could be reborn. The Enchanted Springs Ranch is a unique place and worth the entrance fee.
