On the eastern side of Whispering Pines and Kentwood, you’ll find Banner Grade. In the later 1800s, the area was heavily mined; Banner began as a site serving several of those mines with a hotel and saloons. Today, ranches like the Banner Queen and the Banner Princess occupy the area. Where the grade levels out, you’ll see the Banner Recreation Ranch, which rents trailers. Properties here have private wells that feed the properties with groundwater.
