Price Canyon Ranch - Rodeo
Welcome to rancher country, where generations of pioneering families worked and preserved the land. Today, this ranch land is surrounded by 500,000 acres of national forest and wilderness. Marked by a diversity of wildlife, flowers and trees, and a replenishing spring that sustains an intertwined ecosystem, this vast terrain offers expansive views south past Limestone Mountain and deep into Old Mexico. Below, you'll see a secluded ranch house. This is Price Canyon Ranch-a working cattle ranch with luxurious guest accommodations-tucked away on nearly 15,000 acres of ranch land.
Guests can participate in an authentic Western lifestyle experience, joining real cowboys as they complete ranch chores. The work changes with the seasons, from branding and weaning cattle to moving cattle up to summer pasture. Regular ranch chores include patrolling the ranch boundaries and checking the water lines that lead from Price Canyon Spring to the ranch-a distance of 7.5 miles.
Generally there are two working rides a day, each about two to three hours long. The trails range from grassy meadows to more challenging terrain. In lieu of a ride, you can instead participate in arena games, such as pole-bending, barrel racing, cattle sorting, team penning, etc. Learn "how to" from the real cowboys.
Whether you are an experienced rider or a novice, the ranch hands will make sure you and your horse are working well together before you hit the trails. Lessons are available for riders of all ages from $25 an hour locally and you also can schedule private lessons once at the ranch.
