Currently recruiting for the season from September 25th, 2026 to April 25th, 2027.

The Circle Z Ranch is situated on 6,500 acres at 4,000 feet altitude. We have entertained guests at our ranch every winter since 1926. Guests ride ranch-bred horses through the foothills of the historic Santa Rita Mountains and under huge cottonwood trees along the ever-flowing Sonoita Creek. As a quiet, family oriented ranch, we put emphasis on riding and down-home hospitality.
