Following the Gadsden Purchase of 1853, the ranch became part of the United States and was purchased in the late 1800’s by cattle baron Colonel William Sturgis, who built the great hacienda. In 1925 Louisa Wetherill, a noted archaeologist purchased the ranch and opened it to guests the following year.

Kartchner Caverns
February 25th, Tuesday……………….$138
In November 1974, Gary Tenen and Randy Tufts were exploring the limestone hills at the eastern base of the Whetstone Mountains. They were looking “for a cave no one had ever found” and found it. The two kept the cave a secret until February 1978 when they told the property owners, James and Lois Kartchner, about their awesome discovery. Since unprotected caves can be seriously damaged by unregulated use, they knew the cave had to be protected. Tenen and Tufts spent several years looking into the possibility of developing the cave themselves. Some members of the Kartchner family lived in Tucson and were very impressed with the development and operation of Catalina State Park by Arizona State Parks. They decided to approach State Parks to see if the agency was interested in acquiring this outstanding resource. Today we have an opportunity to experience this stunning limestone cave in Southeastern Arizona that boasts world-class features. This “live” cave, is host to a wide variety of unique minerals and formations. Water percolates from the surface and calcite formations continue to grow, including stalactites dripping down like icicles and giant stalagmites reaching up from the ground. Tour guides will unveil this fascinating underground landscape during a memorable 1-hour tour. We’ll also enjoy lunch on self, prior to our cave tour, at a nearby plaza that offers a variety of fast-food restaurants.

“Vacations are not automobiles, mass-produced in factories with some form of quality control, and returnable for a refund or replacement if they arrive in less than perfect condition. Vacations are complex, emotional adventures that take place in the real world, with its unpredictable weather, chaotic geopolitics and cultural complexities. Anyone looking for a perfect, stress-free experience should skip the river cruise or backpacking trip or destination wedding and simply book your couch for a day of naps and streaming services.

conquistadors were the first to discover silver in this area in the 1600’s, but it wasn’t until the mid-1800’s that Americans began to mine rich silver deposits in Castle Dome, and more than nine million pounds of lead ore were extracted during both world wars, to meet the demand for bullets.

Organ Pipe Cactus NM
March 21st, Friday…………………….$125
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument holds an extraordinary collection of plants, wildlife, and geologic wonders of the Sonoran Desert. The monument offers protection and sanctuary for many rare species that are not found elsewhere. Over thousands of years, the plants and wildlife of this region have adapted themselves to the scorching temperatures, extreme sunlight, and the short but intense rainy seasons. The incredible scope of the monument, what and whom its held since time immemorial, and what and who use the area today have led to the United Nations designating this area an International Biosphere Reserve. Conservation, scientific research, and human connection with this natural wonder are invaluable in its protection. The Organ Pipe Cactus itself is common in Mexico, but very rare in the United States as they cannot tolerate cold weather. They are found on the south-facing hills in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

April 11th -12th, 2025 Friday-Saturday
$499 (Based Upon Double Occupancy) $68 (Single Supplement)
Although they are sections of the same slot canyon, Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon are distinctly different, and nowhere are those differences more pronounced than in the manner of entering and walking through them. Upper Antelope Canyon famous for its light beams and high canyon walls is shaped like an upside-down V. It is narrow at the top and wider, some say less claustrophobic at the bottom. Lower Antelope Canyon is shaped like a V, in that it is very narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, allowing for more light. Of the two canyons, many people agree that Lower Antelope Canyon is more of an adventure, offering narrow passageways and plenty of exciting twists and turns. If Lower Antelope Canyon has been on your bucket list we’d love for you to join us on this small-group expedition. Here’s what you should consider: There are 5 sets of stairs, adding up to about 70 steps in total, leading you into the canyon. After reaching the bottom, there are 4 flights of stairs and a few small flights of 4-5 steps going back up. In total there are about 130 steps inside Lower Antelope Canyon. These stairways are made of metal and offer sturdy handrails on both sides. The initial descent into the canyon is steep, and people with an extreme fear of heights should think twice about trying them. It is about a 75-foot descent into the canyon. Photography on the stairs is not allowed and guests are encouraged to turn around and navigate the steps backward ladder-style if it feels more comfortable. Thousands of tourists travel through Lower Antelope Canyon every year and they all make it out! If you can navigate stairs in your daily life, you can do it in the canyon.
Day One: We’ll travel north, with a stop for lunch on self at Cameron Trading Post. A haven for travelers since 1916, this trading post boasts an expansive dining room, with a huge stone fireplace and tall picture windows, offering a view of the Little Colorado River Gorge. We’ll enjoy a terrific menu that runs from burgers to salads, and includes local favorites, such as Navajo tacos and stews. Later we’ll explore the Grand Canyon via the East Entrance at Desert View offering a unique opportunity to visit the world-famous Desert View Watchtower. Later we’ll travel to Tuba City and check into the NavajoLand Hotel. After a refresh, we’ll head out for dinner on self at Hogan Family Restaurant where the menu offers American and Mexican favorites, as well as traditional Navajo dishes.
Day Two: A hot breakfast is included at the hotel. After breakfast we’re off to enjoy a guided tour of Lower Antelope Canyon, followed by a visit to the world-famous Horseshoe Bend Overlook. One of the most sought after viewpoints in the American West this U-shaped turn in the Colorado River forms a horseshoe shaped canyon upriver from the Grand Canyon National Park. It is one of the most photographed sites in Arizona and should not be missed by visitors
