Comfortable and friendly as family, the Kay El Bar Ranch in Wickenburg, Arizona, is an authentic western dude ranch in the foothills of Arizona's Bradshaw Mountains.
An hour from Phoenix and four hours from the Grand Canyon, the ranch has welcomed guests since 1926.
Our endless trails through the Sonoran Desert could take you cantering up a desert wash, climbing rocky ridges for mountain views, or ambling along gentle foothill trails.
Our extraordinary rides through the timeless Arizona desert can accommodate equestrians (and cowboys) of all skill levels.
Accommodations are comfortable and charming and include: an adobe lodge house with eight guest rooms, each with private bath; the Homestead House, a two bedroom, two bath cottage with living room and fireplace; two casitas, each with sitting area, and private bath.
Whether it's breakfast or dinner by a crackling fire in our cozy dining room, a picnic lunch on the trail, or a cowboy cookout under starlit skies, mealtime is a special time. After dinner we often invite western entertainers to share songs and cowboy poetry by the campfire.
Our informal, relaxed atmosphere and small size (maximum capacity 24) create a warm, intimate environment where guests are quickly part of the family.
