From the meticulous care of "Z" Ranch Managers Pamela and Jock Soper to the terrific riding provided by George, Jenny, Kelly and everyone in the barns at the Ranch, the Circle Z is the best, the best, the best ranch/riding/family experience around. And I haven't even touched on the food (always delicious); the lovely rooms (all vintage, but in prime,... More

We just got back from our first stay Circle Z Guest Ranch. Excellent in every way. The cottages are comfortable, with cheerful Southwest décor. We especially enjoyed the warm family atmosphere created by the managers, Pam and Jock Soper. It's clear that they take care to hire people who are not just skilled (great food!) but also good with people.... More

We took our three kids (8,12,15) plus our exchange student from China (17-year old girl) to Circle Z for spring break. We had a terrific time. The setting is gorgeous, with crystal blue skies and incredible desert mountain scenery in every direction. The staff were fantastic - George and Jenny, the head wranglers, and Stef and Kelly and Raul, all... More

My husband, 16-year-old daughter, and I just returned from 8 glorious days at the Circle Z. We have enjoyed this gem several times before, but this was our first full week - amazing. Unlike many ranches, the horses are sublime and the wranglers (or gurus of riding - Jenny & George) work until you have the perfect horse for you.... More

My wife and I recently stayed 3 nights at the Circle Z; we wish it could have been a month. We hadn't been on a horse for over 35 years but by the third day we were loping down the middle of a stream. I learned more about riding during those 10 hours in the saddle than I did the... More

Circle Z is a beautiful, unique riding ranch. It's small enough for everyone to have the maximum benefit of all it offers. The horses are well trained and cared for. The wranglers are superb. Circle Z's emphasis is on horseback riding, which is our goal. The staff is without a doubt devoted to warm and thorough service. Pam and Jock,... More

My wife and I first went to the Circle Z in 2007 for 4 days. . We invited our entire family. All of us were overwhelmed by the joyous time experienced by all. Since then, my wife and i have been back 6 times, most recently for 5 days at the end of January. Life at Circle Z leaves an... More

Our experience at the Circle Z was one of my best " Dreams come true" trips in many years. I love to ride and have riden most of my life "50 yrs". The ranches horses are a beautiful ramuda from very gentle to advanced and they are matched to the ability of the rider. One of the visistors had never... More

We loved our visit to Circle Z Ranch last month. It never rained. The weather was perfect for 7 straight days. This matters if you have only one week there as we did. We have already booked our return visit to see the desert in spring. The ranch sits on 7,000 private acres. You think you are in the Rift... More
