The ranch’s 10,000 acres provide plenty of remote canyon and mountain country to explore–– a true wilderness experience. To really get out in nature on your Arizona dude ranch vacation, enjoy an all day adventure with sandwiches or a mule-packed hot lunch." "The Elkhorn Ranch takes pride in their herd of 120 horses. Thoroughbred, Percheron and Quarter horse cross horses vary in type and temperament to suit any level of rider, even beginners – the right horse and saddle remain yours throughout your visit. Horses have been raised and trained at this guest ranch for years." "Elkhorn Ranch has been continuously owned and operated by the Miller family since 1945, when Grace and Ernest Miller ventured south from Montana to find a sunny winter guest ranch location. They already operated an Elkhorn Ranch in the Gallatin Valley of Montana, and had teamed up with other pioneer dude ranchers to found the Dude Ranchers’ Association. Now that's a cool ranch history!" "The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the old Spanish missions at San Xavier del Bac and Tumacacori, and Kitt Peak National Observatory are located near this Arizona guest ranch."
