The Ride of the Headless Horseman: A Pumpkin Carving Night

Venture deep into the Poway canyons on a chilling twilight ride leading to the Headless Horseman himself…

Start your evening at the base of the ranch, please allow ample time for parking, pumpkin picking, and photo opportunities before your ride. Follow posted traffic signs to our check-in zone. Carpooling is encouraged. It will be chilly after sundown, so dress accordingly!

Tractor rides to The Pointe begin promptly at 5:00 PM. Parking begins at 4:45.

Once you’ve selected your perfect pumpkin from our rustic patch, you’ll be greeted by a mysterious guide searching for his old friend, Ichabod Crane. Board the trailer and journey into the canyons to the sound of haunting music and distant hoofbeats. Who—or what—awaits in the shadows?

At The Pointe, carve your pumpkin as the sun dips behind the hills and enjoy:

• 🎃 A pumpkin, carving scoop, safety knife & over 100 Stencils to choose from.
• 💧 A pumpkin bath station to help prevent early rot
• ☕ A complimentary cocoa & cider bar (for kids)
• 🍷 A complimentary glass of wine or prosecco (21+ with ID)
• 🍬 Complimentary Light Halloween-themed snacks
• 📸 Festive photo backdrops… and perhaps a close encounter with our headless host 👀
