The White Stallion Ranch, in Picture Rocks, Pima County, Arizona near Tucson, is a historic guest ranch.[1][2] It is one of only two surviving dude ranches of the Tucson area, where there once were 20 or so.
It was founded in 1900 as squatter's cattle ranch. Legal ownership was established via
dude ranch, in the early 1940s, when it was known as the CB Bar Ranch.[3] Six buildings where guests could stay were built after the property was acquired by Max Zimmerman in 1945, and it became the MZ Bar Ranch.[4] Or it was bought in 1940 by "Chicago liquor store owner Max Zimmerman", who had moved to the area "to become part of the once vibrant guest ranching industry in Tucson."[5]
Its 3,000 acres (12 km2) property adjoins the
Winchester 73
(1950).
It is a member of the Historic Hotels of America (HHA), a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and was an HHA "Awards of Excellence" winner in 2016.[3]
