About a mile before you reach Skull Valley and just before you would go under the railroad underpass, turn right on Van Dickson Road. Go over the hill and under a different railroad trestle to see a Van Dickson Ranch sign with an arrow pointing to the left. Turn left, proceed, and you will see the polo field, ranch house, barn, and oak and cottonwood trees. It is only one half a mile off of Iron Springs Road.
