General Information

A Grand Canyon experience unlike any other, each evening you can relax in the romantic privacy of your genuine Pine Cabin or authentic Indian Teepee, or be entertained by real Cowboys under the stars of the Arizona sky.
Grand Canyon Ranch has a colorful history. The original ranch headquarters is located next to Diamond Bar Springs, known to Native Americans for the last 3,600 years. The oldest inhabitants at the springs were the Cohina Indians whose roasting pits have been carbon dated back to circa 1600 B.C. The Indians called the springs “Tanyika Springs.” Around 1860, after the Hualapai War, gold miners built a Stamp Mill to crush ore for the King Tut Gold Mine. From the 1870’s onwards, the Mormons used the springs as a resting and watering place for wagon trains. In May 1889, the Hualapai Indian Tribe’s first Ghost Dance ritual was held at the Springs. In 1904 the alleged gunfighter and cattle rancher, “Tap” Duncan purchased the ranch to escape from his previous “profession.” He became one of the most widely respected pioneer cattlemen. From 1915 onwards, an unknown cowboy called Bruce Kisskadon worked for Tap. He wrote about the ranch and in doing so started “Cowboy Poetry.”
