Step back in time to early Arizona ranching history. Part of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, the historic buildings of Empire Ranch are preserved and open to the public. Still a working cattle ranch, it has been in operation for 140 years. Wander around on your own, take the Heritage Discovery Trail or go on a docent-led tour.
If you go:
No fee or hours, though best to come during daylight hours to see the ranch buildings. Some of the rooms and the restrooms are ADA accessible. Pets allowed on leash and under control. Limited camping. Services available in Sonoita.
