The ranchEst. 1880s

A working ranch that takes guests

The Mormon Trail where it crosses the ranch

This land was homesteaded in the late 1880s around the springs at Grass Springs, mined for gold before that, and run as the Diamond Bar cattle outfit for most of the twentieth century. A stretch of the Mormon Trail still crosses it.

You are in Grapevine Canyon, between the Music Mountains and the southern edge of the Grand Wash Cliffs. The miners' stone cabins are still standing in pieces. There is a herd of mountain bison on Sunset Hill and a ranch house where dinner is served.

Evenings

The ranch house and the fire

Guests sitting on blankets around a large open campfire at the ranch after dark
The nightly campfire below Spirit Mountain

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the ranch house, and the bar is fully licensed. After the rides come in, the fire is lit and a Western musician plays until the guests give up.

It is not an add-on and it is not ticketed. It is what the ranch does every night.

What guests wrote

Two of the notes left on the ranch's guest book and Tripadvisor page, printed as written. No score attached, because the ranch does not collect one.

“The evening horseback ride was a lot of fun. My son also had the opportunity to play the guitar with Casey during the campfire which made the trip worthwhile. The staff is incredibly hospitable and want you to have a good time.”
Trish L., via Tripadvisor
“I had not been on a horse for 35 years but it was a blast. The dinner and campfire events will live with me forever. If you want to get an idea of how it felt to ride in the wilderness go on the sunset ride. Brilliant.”
Doug Jaap, guest book
