Special for The Republic

Kim Johnson, of the X-Diamond Ranch, leads Emily Wasylenko, 8, of Phoenix, over the South Fork of the Little Colorado River during a horsback ride September 14, 2006.

Fossil Creek Creamery

Pack up the kids and head north to Strawberry, where you'll find the Fossil Creek Creamery. It sells homemade fudge and many kinds of goat cheese to taste and take home, and the best part is the goats. Not only can you pet them (and llamas, too) but if you come at the right time, you can even milk them.
