Herding cattle by horseback at the Double Circle Ranch
A Down-to-Earth, Remote, Old West, Rustic Arizona Dude Ranch and Working Cattle and Horse Ranch
Western Adventure Begins Here!
Located in southeastern Arizona, the Double Circle Ranch was once among the largest, roughest ranches in the old Wild West, famous – or infamous – for outlaws, renegades (both red and white), attacks by Geronimo, and cattle drives of up to 30,000 head of wild cattle.
These days we are an old west, down-to-earth, rustic “dude ranch” – an off grid, sustainable working cattle and horse ranch on almost 50,000 acres, famous instead for our custom eco-vacations and top-of-the-line outdoor training programs. But don’t worry: we are still pretty darned wild! Phones and cell phones don’t work out here, and we are an hour’s drive from the nearest conveniences. We are isolated and we love it this way… you’ll never be packed into big groups around here.
- Experience living cowboy culture
- Ride a good ranch horse and join us herding hundreds of Texas Longhorns across the open range
- Fish a mountain creek
- Learn something new, from tracking to birding to wilderness first aid to nature photography to sustainability practices to… well, there’s something for everyone!
- Improve your horsemanship under the guidance of our master trainer
If you are looking for a place where you can really experience life on the range as it was a good century or more ago, surrounded by Texas Longhorn steers and horses, the Double Circle Ranch is where you want to be. Come experience a piece of the great American West, and take home memories and new skills that will last a lifetime!
