Experiences at Rising Moon Ranch

Cowboy poetry • Ghost stories • Sacred drumming • Dutch oven cobbler & ice cream • Stargazing

As the sun slips behind the historic White Mountains, you’ll journey to a glowing campfire on our historic ranch—where the Wild West still lingers in the dust and the stars whisper their stories.

Gather around the fire beneath a vast desert sky, wrapped in the glow of lantern light and the hush of twilight. You’ll be welcomed into a living experience of cowboy songs, frontier tales, and ghost stories that echo through the canyons. Some nights, you’ll feel the heartbeat of the land through sacred Native American drumming and song.

After the stories fade into silence, we’ll serve up a warm, slow-cooked Dutch oven cobbler—made the old-fashioned way—and pair it with a scoop of creamy, locally made ice cream. It’s comfort, tradition, and soul on a spoon.

This isn’t a performance—it’s a shared evening rooted in spirit, story, and song. One that will linger with you long after the fire has gone cold.
