Aravaipa Canyon, 11 miles long with
1,000-foot canyon walls, presents outstanding scenery, wildlife, mountain
vistas, saguaro forests, and
a rich history. Seven species of native fish, desert bighorn
sheep, and over 200 species of birds live among the shady cottonwoods
along the constantly flowing waters of the Aravaipa.
The Canyon was described by Arizona Hiking Trails as "a paradise
on earth! Neither words nor pictures can do this place justice.
. . It is absolutely amazing.
The Ranch is a 1.5 hour pleasant drive from Tucson and
2 hours from Phoenix. Come alone, with your family, or bring a group
for the
day, weekend or week. A unique, refreshing and healing experience
awaits you.
"
Walk quietly in any direction and taste the freedom. . .Climb the mountains
and get their tidings. Nature's peace will flow through you as
sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness
into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like
autumn leaves." - John Muir
