This is our complete and authentic western evening enjoyed by both big and little buckaroos. And because the M Diamond is a working cattle ranch, our cowboy cook outs have something the others don't...COWBOYS!! We always invite our whole ranch family (they are always hungry), so you may share food and conversation with them. What better way to learn about cattle, horses and the western way of life?

We plan the times of these evenings so that you can experience our spectacular sunsets, beginning with a one hour trail ride. After the ride, there's a trip on a horse drawn wagon pulled by one of our stout draft horse teams. The trip ends at "The Lookout" our cook out site, where youll have 360 degree views of the Verde Valley and the Mogollon Rim and a great photo op for the sunset.

Whiskey Jim, our cook, has been around the M Diamond for a long time helping with the cattle on roundups and such. The beef he's rounded up for you is included in a much-praised menu: mesquite grilled steak, cowboy beans, bread, corn on the cob, baked potato, salad and dessert (usually Dutch oven peach cobbler). Drinks include: iced tea, lemonade and water. Guests are welcome to BYOB. After all, a designated driver is included with your complimentary transportation back to town.

Dining by lantern light allows you to enjoy our amazing star-filled night sky. The mood is just perfect with the addition of a camp fire and a cowboy singer. Alvie Self, member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, plays the acoustic guitar (what else?) performing cowboy classics and most any other song you might ask him to.

Complimentary Transportation is provided to and from the ranch in air conditioned vans with hotel pickups in Sedona.
