Howdy all! Fall clean up is ramping up and the gals are busy getting the kitchen all shined up and ready for our incoming 2024-25 crew. ✨ We thought this would be a great time to do a little crew spotlight on one of our good friends and long time staff member Shanon! Shanon worked at Elkhorn a number of years ago and came back last year as our hospitality manager. She is an avid hiker and just completed a Grand Canyon rim to rim adventure! 💪Shanon is a mom and new grandmother (she prefers the nickname Pippie to Grandma 😉) and is accompanied on her adventures by her partner in crime Phoebe. 🐩
We can’t wait to start this season and introduce you to the rest of our crew who keep this place running shipshape!

Horseback Riding

Learn by Doing! Horseback riding is a great way for your kiddos to conquer their fears, learn a new skill, and build confidence by promoting balance, coordination, and a sense of accomplishment! As they engage with our horses, children not only acquire riding abilities but also develop empathy and responsibility by caring for their four-legged friends 🐴 So, saddle up the kiddos and book your stay for a journey of growth and discovery through the exciting adventure of horseback riding. We still have spots left for spring - book your family stay today! #ElkhornRanchAZ #StayElkhornAZ #ElkhornAzMemories #MyStayAtElkhornAz #ElkhornAzHistory #HorsebackRiding #Family #Memories #TucsonAz #SouthernArizona #ArizonaVacation #FamilyVacation #Horseback #AzHorseback #BuildConfidence
