The hotel

The great ranches of the Old West are considered time capsules of the American frontier and certainly you’ll get an incredible sense of history at the Grand Canyon Western Ranch, once home to Tap Duncan, a notorious gunfighter turned reputable member of society. Today, genuine pine cabin accommodation comes complete with antique cowboy bathtub, where you can literally immerse yourself in the past! The Historic Ranch House serves up authentic western home-style cooking with live cowboy entertainment to accompany your meal. There’s also an overnight campout on offer, riding first through the Joshua Tree-lined Mormon Trail. Alternatively, join a guided horseback or wagon ride and see the buffalo, the icon of the West. There's also the option to take a 20-minute Helicopter Tour from the Ranch to and inside the Grand Canyon and back. Come sundown, join your fellow cowboys and cowgirls round the campfire, toast marshmallows and listen to the songs that helped make the West famous.

We went for a friends birthday celebration after visiting Bryce and Zion. This place was the closest accommodations to the Grand Canyon West Wall. The ranch turned out to be a highlight of our trip! The cabins were rustic yet comfortable and spectacular views The staff was authentic and friendly. Reba, Cowboy Casey and Cowboy John were our host...They made you feel welcome any time of the day. We are going to miss them. If you are fortunate to run into Cowboy Dave - get ready to laugh - he is always ready with jokes. I forgot to get chefs name...but he put out some great meals every time. Take a sunset horseback ride with a champagne toast to the day, while Casey sings Mountain Serenade. - a song he wrote. It is beautiful and captures the moment perfectly Read less

Cowgirl Debbie greeted our small group onto the ranch. Soon after we settled into the cabins we departed on our carriage ride up the mountain to watch the sunset whilst enjoying a bubbly wine. Cowboy Dave taught us about Bisen on the ranch and sang some great songs including Waltzing Matilda for us Aussies. Once the sun went down we enjoyed a lovely meal prepared by the chefs in the Wild West Dining Hall, then enjoyed some stories & music around the fire. The cabins were very comfy with 5 ladies in the Ketchum cabin & 4 men in the Smith cabin. All the comforts required for a nice overnight stay. Read less

Horseback ride was a fun experience. My two boys had never ridden a horse and had no problems. Great guide that takes you up the mountain, through an old creek bed and to a small buffalo heard. All staff on the ranch very friendly, knowledgeable. Good entertainment from singer in the restaurant
