Tucson Guest Ranch

The short story is that shades are a rarity in Tucson. And forrests are almost nonexistant. So a shady place like Al Mesquital is truly unique. The average tempurature at Al Mesquital is 10 degrees cooler than Downtown Tucson. Above is an arial view of the Tanque Verde Valley. The white strip is the actual Tanque Verde River Bed. One thing that you can see in this picture is that both sides of the wash are GREEN, verdant, verde !! It's because there is ALL kinds of water underneath the ground along the wash and the mesquite trees love it. This is the only real forrest in Tucson.

Here is a closer view of the ranch. LOOK AT ALL THE TREES !!

Bring your horses ! We have corrals.

I have lived all over and around Tucson and my favorite area is the Tanqe Verde Valley. It's a dried up river bed on the East Side of Town. It's a mile wide swash of trees, a river of Mesquite!!. The birds love the trees, it's right next to the Saguaro National park and all kinds of hiking, biking and riding.

I am counting my lucky stars that I have been able to work out a deal with the owners of a ranch in the heart of this valley.

They have a one bedroom and two bedroom house on their ranch and they are letting me manage their property.

Rates start as low as $ 50 a night, but of course will be higher for the holidays and the Gem Show.

Please call me at 505 715 6861 to book your spot.
