History Walk – Clanton Ranch

History Walk – Clanton Ranch

The Friends of the San Pedro River will offer an easy one mile docent-led walk back in history to the Clanton Ranch ruins on Saturday, April 2, at 9 am. Learn a little of the Clanton family history and life before and after the infamous gunfight at the OK Corral. Learn what brought them to the San Pedro River Valley and why they chose this particular spot for their ranch. Discover how the Clantons orchestrated their cattle “business” through a network of ranches and watering holes to move herds from Mexico to slaughterhouses supplying saloons and restaurants in Tombstone and elsewhere. Bring suitable footwear, hat, sun protection, water, and a snack. 

Meet at the Escapule Road Parking Area: From Charleston Road west of the San Pedro River, turn south on Escapule Road, go approx. 1.2 miles, turn left into Escapule Road Parking Area. For more information, call (520) 459-2555 or visit www.sanpedroriver.org.
