About this trip
Patagonia is where it all started for this outfitting and guiding company. A town of 850 people, Patagonia sits in the heart of the Madrean Sky Island ecosystem; one of North America and the World's most diverse landscapes and home to the last remaining short grass prairie systems, hundreds of species of migratory birds, and an eclectic community of ranchers, hippies, artists, and athletes. Our lodging at The Gravel House is 12 miles from the San Rafael Valley; our gravel road venue for 4 nights and 5 days of high desert fun. All of your meals are included, and hosted on the deck at the Straw Bale House. Team chef, Zander Ault serves breakfast to order, a picnic style lunch while riding, and plated, family style meals under the stars each night.
Highlights
- Riding through the San Rafael Valley (90,000 acres of open space on the border of Mexico)
- 95% of your food is directly sourced from our partners at Pivot Produce and Forbes Meat Company, to name a few
- Enjoy Arizona’s oldest wine country & Patagonia’s only winery: Queen of Cups
- Private bedroom/bathroom at The Gravel House Hotel
