| This historic ranch dates back to 1890, and is located in a beautiful natural setting, almost beyond compare. It sits in a lovely |
| valley at a 4800 foot elevation in the hills between the Santa Catalina and Rincon Mountains, on the far east side of Tucson, |
| Arizona. The spirit of the romantic old west can be yours! Let the sweeping vistas and starry nights of the historic ranch |
| take you back in time, to a place you'll never forget! This secluded, intimate guest ranch offers horseback riding over 65,000 |
| spectacular acres, cattle round up programs and some of the best hiking in the west. A stay offers a very intimate, authentic |
| old west ranch experience, which allows you to develop a special relationship with your horse! You may get your horse |
| from the corral in the morning, then groom and saddle him before going out for long, leisurely range rides, or let our |
| wranglers spoil you! You'll enjoy the beautiful scenery, the companionship of a good horse, your fellow guests and your |
| wrangler. |
| The main ranch house and the beautiful hacienda style courtyards will make you feel right at home! In addition to the spacious |
| great room with it's huge copper fireplace and shelves and shelves of books and game room with it's pool table and the |
| charming nature nook, the ranch offers 8 lovely guest rooms, each with it's own private bathroom, some with fireplaces. |
| After a day in the saddle out on the range, swim in the unique outdoor pool or relax in the luxurious hot tub, with magnificent |
| views of the mountains all around. The chapel is available for private moments of reflection or enchanting wedding |
| ceremonies! |
| This ranch also offers special cattle round up programs and cattle drives on specific dates throughout the year. Moving the |
| cattle across the wide-open range from one scenic pasture to another will take you back in time to the days of the cowboys |
| of the true old west. Rounding up the calves for branding, learning to rope, and hours of fantastic horseback riding across |
| the rugged terrain will provide a glimpse of America's authentic western past! The round ups are physically demanding, |

| Remarks: | No minimum stay. Check-in is provided at main ranch. The actual |
| drive time from the Tucson airport to the main ranch is about 35 |
| minutes, however, with time at the gate, deplaning and luggage |
| collection, guests can expect to arrive at the main ranch about an |
| hour after their scheduled arrival time. Upon arrival at the main |
| ranch, the guest checks in, then is driven up to the Bellota. This |
| transfer time is one hour on a rough, dirt, four wheel drive road up |
| into the Rincon Mountains. Due to the narrow, primitive road, for |
| safety reasons, no transfer is provided when it is dark. So, during |
| the summer, the latest transfer departing from the main ranch to |
| the Bellota is about 4:30pm, so that the driver has time to get up |
| there and get the guest settled in, and return safely to the Bellota |
| before dark. This means that the latest flight arrival for a transfer |
| directly to the Bellota on the day of arrival would be 3:30pm. In the |
| winter time, the last transfer time will be earlier, as the sun goes |
| down so much earlier. In instances like this, where the lateness of |
| the arrival necessitates staying the first night at the main ranch. |
| Guest will be informed at time of booking (given flight times are |
| provided) if a night at the main ranch is necessary. |
| Ranch is currently closed for the month of July |
