Rancho Los Baños Adventure Guest Ranch
Basic Information:
Rancho Los Baños is a 30,000 acre adventure guest ranch and
nature travel destination, a genuine Mexican cattle ranch and
wilderness preserve located a mere 55 miles south from the
southeast Arizona town of Douglas.
While we are located in safe, secure northeast Sonora, Mexico, we
are so close to southeast Arizona that we would like you to consider
our ranch for a possible stay. Our offices are based in Tucson.
Through our shuttle service, we personally escort and drive you
from Tucson to the ranch and back, leaving the driving to us and the
sightseeing to you.
We are a new generation guest ranch catering to new generation
adventure travelers seeking a fun, thrilling and active holiday.
We are a unique, original, exotic, exclusive and genuine guest
ranch, unlike anything else around. Our adventures are thrilling,
challenging, educational, fun-filled and environmentally-friendly.
Offering stunning landscapes, scenery and wilderness, with
spectacular adventures such as hikes through amazing box canyons
in our Canyonlands, backcountry horseback riding through some of
the most scenic, otherworldly, exotic and unspoiled land you will
ever see, excellent birding and wildlife spotting, kayaking on Lake
Angostura, Dark Skies stargazing, incredible geological rock
formations/canyons, 2,000 year old dwelling and pictograph sites,
diverse plant and animal life, 4x4 jeeping and ecotours, mountain
biking, and, of course, amazing rest and relaxation in complete
peace, serenity, remoteness and tranquility.
With so many diverse habitats, encompassing lake, river,
mountain, high desert, box canyon and riparian ecosystems, avid
nature lovers are sure to enjoy their stay. While here, you will
escape the wired world and enter the natural world.
Combined with great lodge rooms and cabin accommodations and
service, Mexican hospitality and food that is second to none, close
proximity to the United States, staying in pristine and isolated land,
and a natural scenery that is spectacular to see, Rancho Los Baños is
sure to make your stay an exciting, fun-filled, relaxing and
-4-
memorable one.
Riding Experience:
At the ranch, besides our many scenic nature trails, you can also
ride to numerous historical attractions. Our guests visit a 17th
century abandoned Jesuit gold mine [at 6,000 feet of elevation with
views that go for miles], by the name of San Jose, where many
Native American slaves perished. Deep inside a scrub oak,
canopy-filled canyon at the foot of 7,500 ft El Pinito Mountain,
guests also visit the remains of a 19th century bandit hiding camp
where both American and Mexican outlaws went to lay low. After
all, the Wild West did not end at the border. You can also ride to
2,000 year old pre-Colombian dwellings full of pictographs, deep
inside El Cajon Canyon, or visit a 20 mile long lake, and its dam,
built during the Great Depression by the architects and engineers
that also built Hoover Dam [the dam is a smaller replica of Hoover].
You can visit the ruins of an early 20th century homestead, with a
genuine Model T Ford skeleton gathering rust.
At Cat Claw Cliffs, you will ride up to the top, with spectacular
360 degree views. These cliffs and its canyons, the story goes, hold
the lost gold of an outlaw on the run, stashing his treasure after
robbing a stagecoach. If that is not enough, you can ride to
magnificent views of famous El Tigre, a nearby Sierra Madre
mountain that acted as Geronimo's [famous Apache chief] Last
Stronghold. Indeed, to ride at the ranch is to ride in what was once
prime Apache country, where the fierce warriors once rode, camped
and lived. At the ranch, after all, you are riding, breathing and living
through history.
Besides riding through history, you will also ride through a
diversity seldom seen at a guest ranch. You will explore pristine
wilderness and diverse habitats and have chance encounters with our
wildlife, including mountain lion. Guests ride to our high country,
passing through vertical sierras, to locations such as Los Toros,
“The Bulls,” a mountainous region so remote and secluded few
humans have ever seen. Indeed, so remote is this region, that ferrel
cattle roam its mountains, seldom, if ever, having seen a single
human being.
You will also ride to “El Sordo,” “The Deaf Man,” high country so
named for the incredible, omnipresent silence and quietness one
encounters when there. Down in our Canyonlands, you will ride
through stunning, wet, box canyons full of life, with cliff walls
-5-
hundreds of feet high. You will ride through rock formations,
formed over eons, that are beautiful manifestations of nature as it
artistically carves its way through time. Throughout the ranch, you
will explore habitats that are varied, diverse and exotic. You will see
regions full of desert palm trees, organ pipe cacti, ocotillo forests,
sycamore canopies and much more. You will ride through hills
covered in knee-high, golden-colored grass, and see a vast
collection of high country vegetation. With a riding elevation
between 3,200 to 6,000 feet, your entire conception of what a desert
is will be radically altered.

Stagecoach Trails Guest Ranch
Basic Information:
Situated in one of the most beautiful areas of northwestern Arizona,
we offer 2 horseback rides for each full day you are at the ranch(no
riding on Sundays). Our riding program is exceptional, as we cater
all of rides to our guests’ abilities. And yes, you can ride the
afternoon of your arrival and the morning of your departure! Our
wranglers are friendly, knowledgeable and are careful to match
horses to riders. Our well-trained horses are trail safe and excellent
for all riders. We even have some gaited ones for a really smooth
ride! We offer a variety of rides, including slow walking,
intermediate trotting and fast, loping rides. We also offer
challenging mountain rides(seasonal). Take our popular “Saguaro
Cactus” ride where the views are spectacular at the top. Be sure to
bring your camera! Or choose our ½ day rides into the Mohave
Mountains (October 15-May 1 only) where you will enjoy
breathtaking views, authentic Indian petroglyphs and a 60 ft saguaro
(Must stay for 4 nights or more to go on these types of rides). Our
outdoor swimming pool (heated seasonally) is always a favorite,
especially during the hotter summer months. Our hot tub is enjoyed
all year long by everyone, especially those wanting to “ease their
saddle sores”. Located just 45 minutes from the ranch is Lake
Havasu City, where guests can enjoy the Historic London Bridge as
well as numerous water sport activities, including jet skis,
powerboats, pontoon boats, canoes and kayaks. The famous Grand
Canyon is a favorite place for our guests to visit. The west rim
(which boasts the widest point of the canyon) is only 2 ½ hours
away and the more popular south rim is 3 ½ hours from the ranch.
At the west rim, whitewater rafting and spectacular scenic floats can
be arranged on the Colorado River as well as helicopter rides into
the canyon. The Hualapai Mountains are only an hour’s drive where
you can enjoy beautiful pine trees and elk roaming the mountains.
(A big change from the desert scenery at the ranch!) There is
something for everyone here, whether it is on or off the ranch. You
can relax, read a book, or enjoy the many activities offered at
Stagecoach Trails. Do a lot, do nothing. We leave that up to you,
because after all this is your vacation. In the hotter summer months,
our riding times are altered to avoid the heat of the day. We do not
offer 1/2 day or all day rides during the summer.

Accomodations: Stagecoach Trails was built in 2000 with spacious, tastefully decorated
accommodations. We have carefully designed the ranch so that the “old west blends with the new”
for a wonderfully unique western experience. Since the ranch is barrier free, all of the public rooms,
guest rooms and bathrooms are accessible. (If you don’t need the accessible features, you just get
nice big guest rooms and bathrooms!). The western style Frontier Lodge is our gathering place and
consists of a huge stone fireplace, comfortable couches, saloon bar (BYOB), Bison room with
satellite TV where you can watch movies or your favorite shows, billiards table and a game table.
We have a spacious courtyard area that is perfect for sunset viewing, star gazing at night, enjoying
our cowboy singers or just relaxing by the fire.
Our family homes, which have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room with a fireplace,
can accommodate groups or families of four to eight. Our guest rooms have either one queen bed,
one queen bed with a full-size sleeper futon or two double beds. (We also provide rollaway beds
when needed.) All rooms have private baths with large verandas that are perfect for enjoying the
sunsets, mountains and stars or visiting with new friends. The rooms are large, tastefully decorated
either western or southwestern and comfortable. Each morning you will awake to the smell of
wonderful home-cooked food and a dinner bell to tell you it’s time to eat.
Dining: Many friendships have begun around the tables in the Hualapai Dining Room at Stagecoach
Trails. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere and incredible mountain views create a feeling of family,
laughter and good conversation. It feels like you are at home, without any of the work! Every meal
is anticipated by our guests and served with a smile. Three delicious meals are prepared every day at
Stagecoach Trails along with complimentary coffee, tea and other refreshing beverages. Everything
is served buffet style so you can eat as little or as much as you want! All of our food is homemade
and our desserts are already becoming legendary, so save room for them! You will never be hungry
at Stagecoach Trails! Although we have a saloon bar in the Frontier Lodge, we do not have a liquor
license. Guests are welcome to BYOB and we will be happy to store it for you in our community
refrigerator in the lodge. Our bar is a popular gathering place for guests to get to know each other
while enjoying an evening beer, glass of wine or a cocktail. (We do have a variety of sodas and
bottled water for purchase in the lodge at all times.)

Entertainment: Every guest's itinerary varies because of the many choices of activities on and off
the ranch. Most choose to ride and relax. Others like to participate in the many activities offered or
just enjoy the swimming pool and hot tub. Many look forward to evenings in the lodge where they
can get to know other guests or participate in activities that are offered such as game night, line
dancing, campfires and more. We leave that up to our guests to choose how much or how little they
want to be involved. After all it is their vacation!

Marble Mountain Ranch
Basic Information:
Marble Mountain Guest Ranch in Northern California offers
American ranch holidays centered around a Western Trail Riding
theme. We combine our equestrian program with thrilling guest
ranch activities such as rafting, fly fishing, sporting clays, and
traditional ranch events. These all inclusive and unique "combined
activity" days, our superb dining experience, our Kids Program, and
"Enrichment Programs" create the best setting for a family dude
ranch vacation that can meet the diverse interests and needs of your
entire family.
We also personally outfit and guide our horse riding, rafting and
fishing activities directly from our guest ranch to avoid long shuttles
and to avoid handing you off to a third party vendor. Personally

Laramie River Ranch
Basic Information:
The Laramie River Ranch dates back to the late 1800's and it is this
heritage that is reflected in the lodge and five log cabins. While all
the accommodations have been renovated to provide the comfort of
modern amenities, they maintain the flavor and charm of the old
west.
The Laramie River Ranch has a typical capacity of twenty five
guests. Its small size allows their crew to give each guest their
personal attention.
Horseback riding is the principal activity at any dude ranch! With a
large string of riding horses, wranglers will pick out a horse to
match the ability and personality of each guest. Wranglers take out
small groups of riders for morning, afternoon and all-day rides
across a tremendous variety of terrain. Instructional rides are
available and guests are welcome to help groom and saddle their
own horses if they please.
For those who would like to try their hand at cattle sorting, we
have a lively team penning activity that is fun for all. We round up
our steers, team pen with them for the day, and then lead them back
to pasture for the night. It's a great opportunity to improve your
riding skills while having lot of fun.
When you decide to climb down off your horse our naturalist will
be there to offer you stimulating walks and hikes. You'll learn about
the wide variety of plants and animals that share our mountain
home. Birds, antelope, beaver, and your hand-picked herbal tea are
sure to be topics of conversation at dinner. Other activities include
tubing down the river, learning to swing a rope, orienteering,
volleyball and horseshoes.
In the evenings guests can enjoy guitar music, cowboy poetry, or
late night strolls to gaze at the start and learn about the mythology
of the constellations.
Outdoor activities and fresh mountain air create healthy appetites.
Whether it is on the trail or back at the ranch, meals are an event at
the Laramie River Ranch. Delicious breads and desserts, fresh

salads, fruits and vegetables, as well as delicious entrees keep guests
coming back for more. Vegetarian and other special diets are not a

tradition, meals are served family style.

vacations for its guests. Come experience their hospitality and the

miles and miles of trails to ride on private, National Forest and
BLM land in a variety of scenery.
This is not a nose to tail ranch. Experienced riders will find the
horses of exceptional quality and beginning riders will find the staff
very patient and accomodating.
Guests have the opportunity to participate in an authentic working
cattle and cowboy experience with cattle work, riding, etc. Many of
The Hideout's organized and experienced staff are year-round,
which makes them very personable and experienced with the area.

exceptional vacation but the entire family will take home many
learnings. From September to Mai the Hideout is mostly adult
