Double E Ranch

Indulge your Cowboy Spirit with a New Mexico working guest ranch vacation, offering plenty of horseback riding, horsemanship clinics, cattle work, spectacular New Mexico vistas and the undiluted, real sensations of ranch life in southwestern New Mexico. Unlike many dude ranches or guest ranches, Double E Guest Ranch is a working cattle and horse ranch. We breed and raise our own cattle and horses and encourage our guests to participate in the day to day activities on the ranch, including roundups several times throughout the year. Get yourself back in touch with an "old" set of priorities. Spend your days with the Wranglers and Cowboys who live the cowboy life and work at Double E Ranch.

Situated along the southwestern edge of the Gila National Forest, the Double E Guest Ranch proudly boasts some of the most spectacular riding vistas in the southwest! This country is breathtakingly scenic, rugged, remote and pristine - and the best way to see it is from the back of a good horse. Our horses are tough, seasoned ranch horses in excellent condition. They will take you trail riding or rounding up cattle; searching for Indian Ruins or traveling the trails of outlaws and gunfighters. Please - don't expect a jacuzzi or pool -- leave your swimmin' gear at home! We're a working cattle and horse ranch and if you enjoy getting your hands dirty, your boots muddy, and your bottom sore by saddling up and working with the cowboys, you'll love it at Double E Ranch! We encourage our guests to take advantage of every opportunity to get involved in our daily ranch routine. If you are wanting to learn new skills, improve old ones and experience first-hand what it takes to ranch and raise cattle as they did back "in the day", then why not join us! We aren't the biggest but we think we're the best -- and your experience with Double E Ranch can change your life!

Ride the trails of the Apache, feel nature up close and explore a ranch vacation paradise exceptionally beautiful, filled with abundant wildlife and rich in the history of southwest New Mexico. Located in the heart of Apache country, 30 miles northwest of historic Silver City, the Double E Guest Ranch and surrounding territory was the home of Billy the Kid, Geronimo, Judge Roy Bean, "Dangerous" Dan Tucker and Ben Lilly. The 3.3 million acre Gila (HEE-la) National Forest and pristine Gila Wilderness surround us on two sides! A working New Mexico cattle and horse ranch consisting of nearly 30,000 acres, the Double E Ranch offers mild year round climate, providing endless opportunities to enjoy horseback riding in every season!
