Just north of the border and about fifty miles southwest of Tucson, you will find one of the best south Arizona Guest Ranches nestled in the secluded Sabino Canyon. At an altitude of 3,700 feet, the ranch is surrounded by the high peaks of the picturesque Baboquivari Mountains and the open desert of the Altar Valley to the east.

Cabins are equipped with private baths, electric heaters and good reading lights and some have separate sitting rooms or fireplaces, no television or phones in the rooms. The cabins are scattered throughout the mesquite to provide privacy. Great meals are offered at this ranch and there are opportunities for sunning on chaise lounges, writing, reading or socializing with friends or family.

Home cooked meals are served buffet style at the Long House three times a day and you can order a hot breakfast for a hearty start to the day.. Meals are well-balanced, nutritiously prepared and the variety appeals to most appetites.

Horseback riding at the ranch provides plenty of opportunity for adventure and a great way to see the incredible scenery of the Baboquivari Mountains. Gentle or loping rides through the desert and more vigorous trips up into the mountains are offered every day except Sunday, when the horses a given the day off plus Thursdays 1 ride. Their herd of about 120 head of horses includes brood mares, colts and saddle horses that vary in type and temperament to suit any rider - the right horse and saddle remain yours throughout your visit.
