About This Ranch
Bordered by Saguaro National Park and the Rincon Mountains east of Tucson, Tanque Verde Ranch is a 640-acre desert retreat where guests ride through forests of giant saguaro cacti under impossibly blue skies. The ranch has operated since 1868, making it one of the oldest continuously running guest ranches in the country. Desert sunsets paint the sky in shades of fire, and the riding is superb year-round.
