Join us at Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch for a Family Vacation or Reunion during the Spring or Summer!
We open in March and the weather is lovely here in the spring with lots of warm sunny days and very low chance of precipitation. Unlike many places in the country, the weather here at the ranch is typically dry: Perfect for your spring break family vacation or reunion.
Summer weather is also lovely. We are located in the mountains at 6,500 feet elevation. Days are pleasantly warm and nights cool down to around 60 degrees. We love to wade and swim in the creek during the summer!
Here is what you can expect during your Family Vacation:
-Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch is a Small Family Run Ranch. We have only 4 cabins and take a maximum of 12-16 guests. Because of this we are able to give our guests more personal attention. You tell us what you want your family’s time at the ranch to be like!
-This is a great place to spend Quality Time with your Family having FUN! In today’s busy world it can be hard for families to find time to spend together. Everyone has their own schedule and often it is not even possible to have a meal together. At our small ranch, families spend their time together: you will ride horses, eat meals together, relax around a campfire, hike, swim in the creek, play games, line dance, and make memories together that will last a lifetime!
-Explore Nature: We are located in the middle of the 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest. This is a great place for families to escape the hustle and bustle of town and city life. Wildlife is plentiful here including large herds of elk, many types of birds, mule deer, javelina, eagles, and much more. It is a great place to learn about and experience the beauty of our natural world. We love sharing our knowledge of the flora, fauna and wildlife with our guests! And the scenery you will see by horseback is unparalleled: deep canyons with crystal clear spring fed stream running through them, mountain overlooks, open meadows, ponderosa forests- the variety is endless.
-Go Back in Time and Learn about the History of the Area: The Mimbres people were in this area from 200-1150 AD. Right in our area there are remains of pit houses, cliff dwellings and pictographs (rock paintings) that we take our guests to explore. You can even find 1,000 year old pottery shards and sometimes arrowheads! (All artifacts must be left where they are). This is unique because these archeological sites are not part of a National Park and there will be no one else there! Later, the Chiricahua Apaches were also in this area and Geronimo’s birthplace is within 15 miles of our ranch! Even more recently Cowboys and Basque Sheepherders stayed in the area and made shelters which remain today. There is also evidence of Tin Mining from the 1930’s and 40’s.
–Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch is a great place for a Small Family Reunion! If there are between 8-16 people in your group you will have the ranch to yourselves and our undivided attention!
