Circle Z Ranch is 60 miles south of Tucson and 15 miles north of the Mexican Border. Founded in 1925, it lies in a valley formed by the Patagonia and Santa Rita mountains, and is watered by the ever-flowing Sonoita River nurturing sycamore and cottonwood stands. The ranch has an informal air with few organized activities except riding which is twice daily and geared to both the novice and expert. Accommodations are in attractively furnished adobe cottages. Bird watchers discover exciting new species; there is a heated pool and tennis court. Reached by major airlines into Tucson or by private plane into Nogales, the drive to the ranch is not difficult and a good way to see some of the exceptional beauty of Arizona.
