Thanksgiving is a very family oriented week at Elkhorn Ranch, located approximately 50 miles southwest of Tucson in secluded Sabino Canyon. Elkhorn Ranch has been continuously owned and operated by the Miller family since 1945, when Grace and Ernest Miller ventured south from Montana to find a sunny winter guest ranch location. This family-owned ranch celebrates Thanksgiving day with a mid-day party at noon followed by a traditional turkey feast. Riders and horses take the afternoon off to snooze or hike or play.
