Welcome to Wickenburg!

Historic Mining Mecca Dude Ranch Capital Team Roping Capital This historic Western town is named after its founding father, Henry Wickenburg, who discovered gold in the area in the mid1800s. Arizona’s richest gold mine prompted a town on the Hassayampa River which soon included a railroad, and bustling business community, as well as cattle ranches and other agriculture – and later dude ranches.

Present-day Wickenburg has all the modern amenities, a booming retirement population and vibrant

local economy. At the same time, Wickenburg celebrates its roots with annual events, and Western Ă DUH IURP WKH GHFRU RQ WKH VWUHHWV to the folks who walk them.

Now known as the Team Roping Capital of the World, Wickenburg has something to offer for everyone – those just visiting for the day, and those who stay for a lifetime.

We hope you enjoy this copy of Destination Wickenburg. This time the magazine highlights historic dude ranches.

Historic Kay El Bar reopens as guest ranch

By Kevin Cloe Sun Correspondent

W

ith a strong national economy back, so is the Kay El Bar Guest Ranch in Wickenburg.

Owner Joe Beattie and his wife Teri, who purchased the 100-acre ranch in 2007, have decided to revive the historic guest ranch after using it as a private ranch for the past six years.

Located on Rincon Road on the northwest side of Wickenburg, the Kay El Bar was created as a working cattle ranch in the late 1800s and served as a guest ranch from 1926 to 2008 (83 years) before the national economy took a dive. That convinced the latest of many different owners (including award-winning actor Val Kilmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents) to shut down the public use of the facility and maintain it as a private ranch until the economy recovered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bought it just before the economy went down,â&#x20AC;? Joe Beattie explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ran it as a guest ranch for four years and then closed it.â&#x20AC;?

10

During that time, the Beatties made numerous improvements to the facilities without sacrificing the western authenticity that made it so popular with its guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting,â&#x20AC;? Beattie said in announcing the reopening of the ranch in November 2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People really care about this place. We were getting emails every year from former guests who were asking when we were going to reopen.â&#x20AC;?

Kay El Bar is already taking reservations for the coming winter season, and Beattie reported that at least a half dozen people have already booked time at the ranch, which will accommodate as many as 28 guests at a time from Nov. 11 through May. He said his staff continued to maintain a long list of former guests and stayed in contact with them my email.

Beattie, who owns and operates a steel distribution company while residing in Brea, Calif., brought his family to the Kay El Bar as guests on his birthday every year for five years before he and his wife decided to purchase the ranch from John and Nancy Loftis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love western history,â&#x20AC;? he said, recall-

'HVWLQDWLRQ :LFNHQEXUJ

ing how his father would take his family to various western venues while they lived in California. That led to his decision to find a guest ranch to visit for his birthday celebrations. California didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide the kind of ranch he wanted to visit, and he preferred a location that was driving distance from his home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wickenburg was the closest,â&#x20AC;? he explained, emphasizing that Kay El Bar offered the western authenticity while being small enough that guests helped create a family atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fell in love with it. When we left every year, our young kids cried all the way home.â&#x20AC;?

His children are now grown and married, and the Beatties are now grandparents.

Kay El Bar offers morning, afternoon and all-day horseback rides, dining in the hacienda-style dining room and cowboy cookouts under the clear desert night sky, entertainment in songs and cowboy poetry, and a swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

Legend tells us that prospector Henry Wickenburg was in the area in the mid-1800s and found an incredibly rich ore vein where it cropped up out of a hillside. Before long, miners were digging treasure out of what became Vulture Mine. The nearest water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; necessary in the processing of ore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was at the Hassayampa River which gave rise to a little town on the river which would come to be called Wickenburg.

6 +Z\ Yarnell, AZ 85362

But the mine prompted more than the town of Wickenburg into existence. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historians say Vulture Mine is also responsible for the establishment of Phoenix, where farmers and cattlemen raised enough food to supply Vulture City.

The park includes a trail leading from Highway 89 up and over the granite boulders of Yarnell Hill to an observation deck where the actual fatality site can be seen.

With the current discussion about the needs of Arizona schools, WAC asked the school district the status of their visual arts funding for consumable supplies: paint brushes, paint, clay, crayons and all the other supplies needed to teach creativity to young children. The answer was astoundingly low. WAC stepped up with the assistance of nationally recognized auctioneer, O.C.

Tour the Hassayampa River Preserve The Hassayampa River, loosely translated as â&#x20AC;&#x153;upside-down riverâ&#x20AC;?, is a jewel of the Sonoran Desert that disappears and reappears many times throughout its 100-mile length. About a 5-mile stretch of the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perennial surface flow and its surrounding riparian ecosystem are protected at the Hassayampa River Preserve a few miles south of Wickenburg. The Preserve was created in 1987 by The Nature Conservancy to protect one of the rarest ecosystems in Arizona, the cottonwood-willow riparian forest type. In April 2017, the Conservancy donated the Preserve to the Maricopa County Parks & Recreation Department under a conservation easement as part of the larger plans for the proposed Vulture Mountains Recreation Area.

The County Parks have since been implementing renovations and site improvements to the Preserve to enhance the visitor experience, while conserving the special natural and historic resources on the property. The Preserve offers 3 miles of hiking trails that meander through this lush desert oasis, allowing visitors to experience the tranquility of the rambling river and the vibrant natural life that it supports. The Preserve also features the spring-fed Palm Lake and spectacular views from a desert hill overlooking the river corridor and surrounding mountains. The Preserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse wildlife includes gray fox, ringtail, javelina, lowland leopard frog, and a plethora of colorful dragonflies and butterflies. It is one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birding hotspots with over 290 bird species recorded, including gray and red-shouldered hawks, yellow-billed

The Visitor Center occupies a historic building dating to 1865 and features museum displays highlighting the Preserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical and natural features.

Trails close 30 minutes prior to closing time. Entry is $5 per adult (ages 13 and up), children 12 and under are free. Maricopa County Parks annual passes are honored. Pets, swimming, fishing and hunting are not allowed at the Preserve. Two picnic areas are available, the Visitor Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift shop has snacks and drinks for sale, and a water bottle filling station is available at the restroom building. The half-mile long Palm Lake Trail is a barrier-free gravel loop and the restrooms are wheelchair accessible.

Sophieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flat offers approximately 7 miles of loop and connector trails fit for hikers and horses. Bureau of Land Management has marked and mapped the trails. Local groups help maintain the trails through fundraisers and grant writing.

The trailhead offers ample parking for horse trailers, interpretive signage, maps and a restroom. It does not offer water for horses or hikers. The trails meander through classic Sonoran Desert landscape with dramatic desert and mountain vistas stretching in every direction. The elevation is approximately 2,500 feet, and the estimated loop hike time is three hours.

The Sophieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flat trail head is only about five miles northeast of Wickenburg â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about a 10-minute drive. To get there from US 60 in Wickenburg, turn north on El Recreo Drive (the road between Subway and La Siesta Plaza, just east of the Hassayampa River). Continue past the rodeo grounds and beyond the end of the pavement. The dirt road winds through a wash and soon comes to a fork with Blue Tank Road to the left. Take Blue Tank Road for 1.4 miles. Look for the parking area on the right hand side of the road.

A portion of the trail system has been improved for mountain biking.

Consult the map at the trail head for more information.
