Come experience some real Western history and heritage at the M Diamond, a working cattle ranch in beautiful Beaver Creek outside Sedona, Arizona. Complimentary Transportation is provided from Sedona, a 30 minute drive in air conditioned vehicles. On the way, you will see and learn about our range land and enter a vast expanse of awesome views and vistas, experiencing the Arizona countryside of the original homesteaders.

On our working cattle ranch, you always get much more than a trailride. Real western history and heritage is here and you're sure to learn a lot about it while having a lot of fun! In fact, many people come just to learn about a working cattle ranch. - Read More -

We have lots of photos and displays, but you'll learn most from Kevin and Stephanie Kennedy, who manage the trailrides. They live at the ranch and can tell you all about it and their horses. Because cattle are the only herd on our ranch, and our guests come in small groups, you'll have plenty of opportunity to get to know them. You'll meet their dogs, Timmie and Annie and Elvis the miniature goat with the rhinestone collar and Amelia Earheart, the donkey. Most springs, there's a dogie calf to bottle feed or you might see one of our bulls, Houdini, the escape artist. There's always a lot to do and see and learn at the ranch.

The most popular horseback ride is our two hour ride. It's long enough to get you out on the ranch, but not long enough to make you sore. You'll be able to experience the ranch with wranglers who know each and every horse by heart. Kevin and Stephanie take special pride in selecting the appropriate horse for each rider, whether you have never ridden or you ride every day.

The M Diamond is located down a dirt road because working cattle ranches are not conveniently located downtown anywhere! But you know what they say, the real west begins where the pavement ends, and we provide complimentary transportation in new air conditioned vans.

For the comfort of our guests and the well being of our horses, the times of our trail rides change with the seasons, and we are always closed on Sundays. When you call for reservations we will answer any questions you may have, but here are the basics:

Prices per person: One hour ride: $69 + tax Two hour ride: $90 + tax

Cowboys work rain or shine, so if it RAINS, WE RIDE, and we eat under a covered dining patio. We require 24 hour cancellation notice or a 50% charge will be applied.
