Our mission is the same as it was 100 years ago—we aim to offer you old-fashioned, western hospitality; the kind that’s as warm and inviting as a crackling campfire and as welcoming as a clear, open sky.

Whitney’s Circle Bar Ranch Preserves the Spirit of the Old West

Circle Bar Ranch was first homesteaded in 1904 and became one of the first working cattle ranches in Arizona. The original ranch was comprised of 2,500 acres of private land and is surrounded by 180,000 acres of magnificent forest and cliffs. Can you imagine the awe of ranching pioneer, H. Bernard Hughes, when he first set foot on the land nearly 100 years ago? Then and now, Circle Bar Ranch preserves the spirit of the “new” west, a land brimming with natural beauty and exciting possibilities.

Today, you can recreate the adventure of life on a ranch on Circle Bar’s landscaped pastures, under majestic sycamores, near our spring fed pond and in our 10,000 square foot Pavilion banquet facility. If your preference is a mix of history and modern conveniences, we can arrange that too! Take a gander at Banquets and Events for the exciting possibilities.
