ABOUT US

Our intimate dude ranch welcomes solo travelers, families and multi-generational groups for one week long (or longer) all inclusive stays featuring guided horseback rides and hikes.

We are a conservation minded working ranch that raises horses, alongside neighboring cattle ranches, Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge and Baboquivari Peak Wilderness. Curious Sonoran desert flora and fauna, wide open country, Arizona’s famous sunshine and blue skies, and personalized hospitality provide an ideal setting for outdoor adventure, rejuvenation and camaraderie.

YOU WILL FIND A FRIENDLY WELCOME AT ELKHORN RANCH

Charley and Mary Miller and Tom and Anne Miller, the third generation of the Miller family, live and work at Elkhorn year round and enjoy the friendship of many returning guests and crew.

Charley and Mary’s daughters are now working at the ranch full time. Clara works mostly with Charley as horseback guide; and Alicia works with Mary in the kitchen and office. Clara’s partner Alvaro Campos works with Tom to take care of the ranch buildings and grounds.

WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE OUR 4TH GENERATION MILLERS ON THE TEAM!

The ranch team comes together each fall, with returning and new crew members coming from all over the country. For some, this work is their profession ~ for others it is a work-travel adventure experience.
