Romance at the White Stallion Ranch 

A Tranquil Escape to Experience Arizona's Wild, Wild West

It’s a simple road trip via the Valley that will transport you to the Wild West of Arizona. Sure, you can opt for a romantic resort this February; however, you might want to consider doing something different—something that will strengthen your spiritual bond with your significant other… and with nature. 

This Valentine’s Day, celebrate your love at Tucson’s White Stallion Ranch, located on 3,000 acres of pristine Sonoran Desert and bordering two miles of Saguaro National Park West.

The Ranch

Family run for over 50 years, this dude ranch is the epitome of an escape (and we could all use one of those, right?!). It’s been the backdrop for numerous Western films, attracting the attention of esteemed Hollywood producers.

Why?

Because it’s stunning, yet simple, and packed with plenty of fun things to do.

Upon arrival, the on-site cowboys will help you plan your daily itinerary. 

First, saddle up. White Stallion Ranch owns one of the largest private herds of horses in Arizona. The extensive riding program accommodates all riding levels, and you’ll journey through picturesque terrain from the beauty of horseback.

There’s also an abundance of outdoor activities, including rock climbing, e-biking, and shooting. That’s right, shoot alongside your spouse with cowboy-style Henry Yellowboy .22 caliber rifles and Ruger .22 caliber single action pistols. Your instructor guarantees an empowering, safe experience. 

The expanded rock climbing program is based on top rope bouldering and top rope single pitch climbing. Climbs are 30 feet to 60 feet, with a range of difficulty for all thrill seekers. And the Radpower Fat Tire E-Bikes is a new way to tour the ranch at your own speed. 

Additional activities include archery, hiking, and more.

The Food

Most activities and meals are included in your stay—it's an all-inclusive experience for you and your loved one. Surely you’ll get hungry after a day full of fun, and vacations at White Stallion are loaded with a variety of dining options.

The ranch boasts homestyle recipes to create flavorful meals with cooked-to-order options or buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Dinner often features grilled entrées, and ever-changing side dishes. There are delicious desserts and all-day snacks, as well.

The Room

The ranch has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The 43 guestrooms are charming, flaunting generous floor plans. 

For your getaway, book a Deluxe Suite, which offers the highest level of comfort and luxury on the ranch. Equipped with a large living space, fireplace, Jacuzzi tub, and private patio, these accommodations let you enjoy the tranquility you crave alongside your beloved.
