The MTM Ranch provides more than a trailride, it provides
an experience. Enjoy one hour to all day tours departing directly onto the Willow Springs Conservation Area trailsystem. Each
ride is more spectacular than the last. The longer you care to participate, the further into the mountains you will ride.
The further from civilization you go, the more pristine the habitat that you will witness becomes. Our wranglers
tell tales of the Southwest, and accurately provide information about the flora and fauna of the High Sonoran Desert. We love
our jobs in the great outdoors and it really shows as we put great effort into ensuring that you get the most out of your
time spent with us. All of our rides are exciting, not because of the speed we travel, but the terrain we travel upon.
The one hour tour is a great starter tour with trails both scenic and simple. This tour is recommended
for children of six to seven years and requires less ability to handle a horse.
Our one and a half hour tour is a fabulous ride taking in more of the higher mountain scenery.
We often times encounter large herds of Arizona Mule Deer or packs of the wiley Coyote. Gambel Quail abound on the mountain
side and the ornithologist is always fascinated by Hawks, Kestrels, Cardinals, Hummingbirds, Wrens and other species,
too numerous to mention. The thrill of seeing a rattlesnake is one to remember!
The two hour tour is by far our most popular. It traverses all the way around our entire ranch
from corner to corner and a large desert mammal siting is commonplace. We are 90% sure we will find you a critter.
