The Triangle L Ranch is located where the desert meets the northern slopes of
the Catalina Mountains in Southern Arizona. Bicycle 58, 42 or 15 miles to 4500
feet where the fresh air and high desert surrounding revive and restore your
spirit. As you enter the
secluded Triangle L Ranch, you feel as if you are going back in time. White
washed adobe buildings with red tin roofs dwell in the shade of giant oaks.
Follow the stacked wood corral fences into the heart of the unique homestead
dating from the 1880’s. The old windmill still stands as a landmark from another
era.
Explore the 50 acres of this historic ranch, or just relax on the porch of your
private guest cottage. Watch the sunset after an invigorating bicycle ride,
delight yourself in the star-filled skies, and hear the call of the great horned
owls.
Bird and wildlife watching is a great pastime at Triangle L Ranch. Hawks,
ravens, rabbits, roadrunners, quails, chipmunks and many species of songbirds
are evident during the day. At night, owls, javelinas, bobcats and coyotes are
frequent visitors. Visit the goose and chickens and “Mojave”, the adopted wild
burro. Desert flowers, cactus and native flora abound on the property. Visit the
iris garden near the main house and the artist gallery located in the barn. A
massage therapist will also be on site.
