Grapevine Canyon Ranch

Grapevine's remote, unspoiled location offers an escape from the outside world we all live in today. The box by the gate invites you to simply “leave your problems here” - and you will feel your spirit lighten as you travel up the narrow, winding road to the ranch buildings.

There is something magical about Grapevine Canyon that will make you feel at home the minute you arrive. The canyon was a refuge for the Chiricahua Apaches in years gone by, and it remains today a refuge for people escaping from the many stresses of modern life, a place where they can unwind, regroup and refresh their spirit.

We'll guide you through some of the most beautiful country you've ever experienced, where the extraordinary scenery changes every few minutes. These trail rides are for all levels of rider skill, besides being marvelous photo opportunities for those wanting to capture the beauty of the desert on film.Morning rides are long enough to enjoy the scenery, with as many rest or photo opportunity stops as the riders desire, with stories of nature and local history shared by the wranglers. All guests take a morning trail ride as an introduction to their horses, western riding techniques, and the desert-to-mountain terrain, before joining other rides in our program.

The weather at Grapevine is exceptional due to its unqiue location! The winters are pleasantly warm during the day, though chilly at night. The ranch gets a dawn frost, yet in sheltered places petunias bloom all winter long. Spring and autumn are outstanding - lots of swimming and sunbathing, yet cool enough for riding, hiking, and exploring. And Summer is full of lots of sunshine and hot!
