Horseback Riding is Best in Southern Arizona

SouthernArizonaGuide.com

There is no better horseback riding experience than you will get in Southern Arizona. 300 days a year of sunshine almost guarantees good weather. Of course, in the summer you may have to start early, but that is the best time to ride anyway. Critters are numerous, and you have … Continue reading

The Loop: The Best Walk Along the River?

SouthernArizonaGuide.com

Several years ago while Jim was in rehab at the tony Hacienda at the River for a bit, I decided to get back to my routine of walking in the early morning. It was still quite cool in the morning when I stepped out onto The Loop between Campbell and … Continue reading

Rancho de la Osa: A Guest Ranch Extraordinaire!

SouthernArizonaGuide.com

About half way through 2018, I asked Ms. Karen what she wanted to do for her August birthday. She said she wanted to go to Rancho de la Osa, the “Ranch of the She-Bear”. She also suggested we invite Ms. Rosemary who is a horse woman and would enjoy the … Continue reading

Is Tombstone Monument Guest Ranch The Best Place To Stay In Tombstone?

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Tombstone Monument Guest Ranch at dawn.

An hour and 15 minute drive southeast from Tucson can land you in the most famous town of the Old West: Tombstone, Arizona. We have visited Tombstone so many times that we know better than to not expect the unexpected. Tombstone has more gunfights in its streets than Chicago. The … Continue reading

Recommended Tucson Dude Ranches: White Stallion & Tanque Verde!

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, Tucson Arizona

In the 1930’s through the 1950’s, Tucson boasted more than a hundred guest ranches (aka Dude Ranches). Only a handful remain, two of which we recommend highly: Tanque Verde Guest Ranch and White Stallion Guest Ranch. Tanque Verde (green tank or green pool) is located on the far east side … Continue reading
