Grapevine Canyon Ranch - An Arizona Guest Ranch Experience
Grapevine Canyon Ranch, a guest and working cattle ranch, is located in the heart of Arizona's Apache country. At an elevation of 5,000 ft. (1,500m), the ranch buildings, nestled among plentiful groves of Arizona oak, manzanita, and mesquite, are almost invisible in the wooded canyon where wild grapevines growing at the back give the ranch its name.
Activities
Grapevine is famous for its riding program. Guests have several options for riding, with a varied seven-day-a-week program and rotating destinations. Monday through Saturday, the schedule offers four rides: a morning trail ride, an advanced ride, an all-day ride, and an afternoon trail ride. On Sunday, the trail and the advanced ride converge at the cattle ranch headquarters for a cookout under the trees before heading out to participate in the Horseback Games. Team Penning is an option on Saturdays. Group lessons are available Monday through Saturday mornings before the regular rides, as part of the overall riding program.
Accommodations
The guest accommodations are cozily-appointed and fresh, virtually sparkling in appearance. Grapevine's housekeeping staff prides itself on cleanliness, winning the daily battle to keep the desert sand outside the cabins and casitas.
Special Programs
The most popular program to date is the Cow Camp. Learn to rope, heard and drive cattle, go on a mini cattle drive, sleep under the stars with the cowboys, and drive the cattle back. Grapevine Canyon Ranch also offers specialty weeks, such as, Rockbuster week, Senior week, Step into History week, Rodeo days, and much more.
Past Customer Feedback
"I loved it here! I can hardly bear to leave this place. I have no suggestions, to me, it was just perfect. This has been one of the best vacations that I've been on mainly because I love horses and outdoors and partly because there were no boring museums to be dragged to. There is always something to do here or to see. (smell,touch,taste...) Speaking of taste the food was amazing. You've got a great place here and aspire to become a "threepeter" here at grapevine...
