Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch is a real western adventure! Horseback riding or hiking takes guests through open meadows, tall ponderosa forests, up on high hills where the views go on forever, and down into deep canyons with sheer cliffs and crystal clear streams. From the "Top of the World" guests can view the 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest, Aldo Leopold and Gila Wildernesses. Elk, mule deer, wild turkey, javelina and other wildlife abound. Pit houses, Cliff Dwellings, and Pictographs (rock art) of the earliest inhabitants, the Mimbres (750-1150 AD) to explore in the immediate vicinity. This is the land Geronimo and the Apaches roamed. Outstanding gentle and responsive horses for every ability. Comfortable, attractive accommodations, warm hospitality, relaxed atmosphere, great food. Come enjoy the peace and quiet at our small ranch!

This was a great experience. The food was gourmet, the horses were gentle and responsive, and the cabins were well-maintained, cozy and comfortable. We felt safe during Covid - meals were delivered to our room, everyone wore masks and social distancing was easily maintained. The rides were amazing. We were able to see remnants of and learn about indigenous people from a thousand years ago. Really fascinating geography and history.

Property's Favourite Review
An overall spectacular experience! Outstanding hard working and friendly people! Outstanding and very well taken care of horses! The type of food you would get at a 5 star restaurant and lots of it! A true back to nature vacation with no phones, no computers, no noise except the occasional bugling of a bull elk or the call of a coyote. This was my first time here, but not my last. I have already booked for 2021. Check it out, you will be glad you did!

We are so glad you had a spectacular experience! We know that all aspects play a role in making a vacation here a great experience, from the hospitality to the care of the horses (which is very important to us) to the food! We loved sharing this beautiful area with you and are glad you were able to disconnect and enjoy nature. We can't wait to see you again in 2021!

The most important thing to me in selecting a ranch trip is the quality of the riding, Geronimo Trail checks all the boxes. The horses are responsive, well cared for and well-loved. There are blue gramma meadows to roam, mountains to climb, creek beds to ford, forests to bushwhack and plenty of room to jog or lope. Added to that, there are 3.3 million acres of Gila National Forest to explore and social distance in. Our November trip included superb weather, year round spring fed streams to wade in and sightings of havalina, elk and coatimundi.

I could wax on but I won't. I'll handle this the cowboy way. Review their website; they deliver on every promise made. Enough said! Tripadvisor won't let me get away with writing less than 200 word. It's clear they aren't in the " less is more camp". Wonderful staff, well cared for horses, high quality tack, delicious food, comfortable accommodations and 3 million acres of wilderness to explore on horseback or by foot. No motorized vehicles allowed off road, no cell phone service or internet. Star filled skys at night, clear blue by day. Awe inspiring vistas, cool streams meandering through deep gorges. Ancient ruins as well as remnants of the more recent homestead era. If you aren't on board yet you should probably consider Disney World.

The owners of the ranch, Seth and Meris, were very welcoming and friendly. They immediately put us at ease. Their chef, Fred, was incredible! We had the most fantastic food! Everything was homemade and delicious! My hubby and I are both senior citizens with severe arthritis so we weren't sure we'd be able to ride. Well, they made sure we got to ride. We both ended up taking two wonderful rides that we will remember forever. The horses were very gentle. Their other "rangler", Laura was so sweet. She served our meals, helped with the horses. It felt like a home away from home. Very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely return.
