music rocks!
I came with my family on june 29 2007. I recommend the ranch because of its
horse rides (stay calm on the horses). I came to the ranch for my mom and dads
20 anniversary. I loved everything. I would absolutely stay there again.
Louis, Oakton, United States
What a
blast!
They offered the best heli packages around, most liked everything about the
ranch especially the meals (not too big, just right), be sure to bring warm
cloths and boots if you're going hiking or trail riding.
From the minute we
arrived we were treated like long-lost relatives being welcomed home. Casey and
the rest of the gang made us feel so comfortable. There were 4 of us so we
stayed in one of the "loft" cabins ~ about 50 yards from the main horse corral,
which was great. I'm a big Louis L'Amour fan so I sat on the porch of our cabin
in the big 'ol rocking chair reading my book just before dinner while I watched
the sun set and listened to the horses. I did the same the following morning
when I was treated to a mini-stampede as some of the horses decided they'd
rather drink the water in the creek in front of the cabin than go into the
corral. What a hoot.
Sitting around the campfire listening to Casey sing his songs while playing the
guitar was a highlight to our stay. Any song you can imagine, he can play,
note-for-note, and sing, verbatim. He went from singing some country and western
song right into Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven and American Pie. He was just
awesome. He also seemed to have a specific song for each group that come into
the ranch depending on what part of the world you were from. He sang "Sudbury
Saturday Night" for us and a song about the tobacco fields in Tillsonburg. What
a treat he was. A true host and gentleman.
We only stayed one night at the ranch but felt as though we knew everyone there.
We even received hugs upon our departure - what a place. We can't wait to go
back!

Great
People especially JD and Casey
We found this great place on our last visit to USA and all of the cowboys were
so nice, It was a shame we could not stay however we are returning April 08 with
12 people and we shall try to persuade them to give it a go for the night. There
is a very high spiritual presence at the ranch and I could feel a little spirit
called Sally it was really amazing.
Loved the place, Teresa, England
A trip of a
lifetime
Dear Casey, I would like to say how special you made our stay at the ranch. It
was a trip of a lifetime wish we had made our stay longer. On a funny note you
told my partner Chris that if he did not marry me he would be crying for fifty
years, well he had proposed by the time we left and i said yes. so thank you for
your words of wisdom and it would be nice to come out to the ranch to get
married so we will start saving. Once again thankyou very much to you and all
the staff.
Kane Weeks and Chris Dowell
A
remarkable experience
My girlfriend and I just completed a trip to Vegas and the last part was your
canyon tour. I must say it was a remarkable experience. Our pilot, Phil, was
excellent and the helicopter ride was great. The ranch was very nice and we were
extremely happy with the quality of the food we received for dinner. Usually in
a "tourist" type environment the food is so-so as more emphasis is on quantity
not quality. not in this case. we also bought the video and enjoy it very much.
I imagine we will be back that way in a year of so and will use your company
again. Please tell Casey Adams that he was a great singing cowboy and we enjoyed
his show very much!! thanks again.

Car Trouble
at An Amazing Place
We did not actually stay at the ranch but we did have a very pleasant experience
under very adverse conditions. On a recent trip to Las Vegas, our party of six
decided to visit the Grand Canyon West Skywalk. The ranch is located about
halfway on a 14 mile unpaved road leading to Grand Canyon. We drove past the
ranch on the way to Grand Canyon and noticed that they advertised cold
beverages. We made a mental note to stop on the return trip. On our return trip,
we did stop about 6 PM. At that time, we discovered that we had a flat tire.
While attempting to change the tire, we notice another tire was also going flat.
Here we were, in the desert, no cell phone service, and one spare tire. Our
first thought was to call AAA on a ranch phone but discovered they dont come
out that far on an unpaved road. The next idea was to call the rental car
company for a replacement car but we were three hours from the nearest rental
car location. We would then have a three hour drive, putting us back in Vegas
after well after midnight. After discussing all the options among ourselves and
the ranch management, we determined the only solution was to leave the car and
catch a ride back to Vegas with a tour group that would be leaving in about 3
hours. After a while, a young man that worked at the ranch, Justin, came up and
asked if he could help. We discussed the situation and he offered assistance. He
said he was experienced in tire repair and fixed both flats in short order. We
continued the trip and returned to Vegas, very grateful for the hospitality
offered by the ranch personnel. Justin, Darlene, and the assistant manager
(regretfully I didnt get her name) were very helpful and very concerned about
our welfare. If they take care of people in distress in that manner, I can only
imagine how they take care of people that stay at the ranch. It was our general
consensus that the ranch was very authentic, staffed with exemplary personnel,
and expertly maintained. We plan to go back and find out.

An
experience of a Lifetime (mostly thanks to Casey)
We stayed at the ranch for two nights in one of the cabins which was very
comfortable - comfy beds and plenty of hot water. We did consider one of the
teepees but thought they would be too hot in the daytime and too cold at night
but I think we were wrong. We were met by Casey who was welcoming and funny. We
didn't know what to expect and comments on the web were mixed. If you are
looking for 5* accommodation, this is not it, but food was good (fish or steak
for dinner and basic breakfast), cabins were comfortable and staff helpful and
friendly. My husband (who has never ridden a horse before) and my daughter went
on the sunset horse ride and persuaded me to go on the second night. The horses
walk but the gradients are quite steep in places. Jeans and boots are advisable
but hard hats are provided. After this came dinner and then we were invited to
sit around the camp fire, under a sea of stars, toasting marshmallows, whilst we
were seranaded by Casey Adams (CD availble in shop!). He asked for our requests
and was able to sing and play most of them. A truly lovely man. The next day, we
took a helicopter ride over Grand Canyon which was spectacular. In the evening,
we took another sunset horse ride. dinner, camp fire and bed. We saw coyotes, a
Mexican wolf and bats on the ranch plus a variety of butterflies, birds and
insects. There is a relaxed atmosphere, the staff and cowboys are patient and
helpful and I can honestly say that we enjoyed the whole experience. We would
certainly recommend staying at the ranch but if you want excitement and being
on-the-go all the time, this is not for you. Our thanks go to Casey Adams who
really made it for us. We was friendly and helpful and made us feel really
welcome. We are certainly going back some time in the future. Thank you to
everyone at Grand Canyon West Ranch and we hope to see you all again soon.

A
completely different experience
If you want to experience the world with no pollution, then go here. Its just
amazing. When we went we took part in the sunset horseride. Amazing, it was an
out of this world experience.
Littledib, Sherborne. U.K.
We had a
great time at the ranch
I loved the atmosphere of the place and found it very relaxing. We thought Casey
Adams was an excellent entertainer and made the camp fire singalong a very
memorable experience. I would certainly recommend the ranch to anyone and it was
one of the highlights of our holiday in the USA.

A Must
Visit
This was an amazing part of my honeymoon. I am saving up to visit again. So much
fun for everyone. A must visit place in your lifetime. Thanks for the time I
spent there. Also a big thanks to Casey.
Alan Price, Sunderland UK
Casey made
the visit very special
If you are looking for true America the west ranch is a must....great family
experience for a wide variety of tastes....horse riding, music,
photography....authentic food etc. Casey Adams really made our visit a one in a
lifetime special occasion...my son really enjoyed playing the guitar with Casey
he's a real gentleman. If you are in the area go ahead and treat yourself to a
fabulous time. The whole package was great, food, music and location was simply
the best. There was something here for everyone, horseriding, scenery, music,
nice people. Great hospitality from the whole team.

The Best "West" Experience
We took a three week drive to discover the West but didn't really find it till
we came to The Grand Canyon West Ranch. There's simply nowhere like it for that
authentic western experience. Never mind the Tepee's and Cabins, Gunfights and
Stories, Horse Rides to see the sunset or the Great Food. Not even the campfire
where we sat around listening to old cowboy songs, with some of us remaining
long into the night to watch the stars from beneath Spirit Mountain. All that
was amazing, but it's the people that run the ranch that make the ranch the
place it is. Warm, Welcoming and Western. You'd be a fool to miss it.
Chris and Terri, Dublin, Ireland
Hope to
visit again one day
Just to say thank you for a briliant time last Tuesday/Wednesday. The cabin was
gorgeous and the sunset ride was fantastic (it has taken me 6 years to get my
partner on a horse and he loved it!!) Everybody obviously works really hard -
please pass on a big thank you and compliments.

Hello to
Grand Canyon West Ranch
Could you please forward to Casey Adams and all those at the Ranch, our thanks
for a fantastic time spent with you all recently. My wife and I have recently
returned to the UK after a short vacation in the US. Having spent a considerable
amount of time in the US over the past thirty years - our time with you was a
fantastically enjoyable experience.
Thanks again, Roy and Jan Edwards from Gloucester, England
Thank You!
I have recently send a card to say many thanks to all of you for making our
overnight stay on the 05/04/07 so very special. Maybe you did not receive this
card or you are far to busy to reply. What is of course understandable. I had
such a wonderful time on the Ranch and it was such a brilliant experience. The
horseback riding could not have been more to my liking. Thank you for the
delicious food and I really enjoyed the entertainment. All in all everything was
so precious to me and I will never forget a moment of it. We bought a Casey
Adams CD and listen to it all the time. Unfortunately he was not there to sign
the CD. How can I find out more about Casey or contact him? Could you let me
know, please.
Many thanks, Nicola
Are we
there yet?
Offering a 50th anniversary gift to my parents, and going along with them. I am
counting days, I swear if they don't want to go -but I doubt it!- I'll lock them
up in a closet and go alone.... My French Dad is a western buff with a whole
room in his Lyon area house dedicated to John Wayne and a mix of cowboys and indians stuffs, my mom is just happy anywhere in the US! Downcounting days
already from June 18th.... 17...16...!
Emmanuelle Huguet, French citizen living in Houston TX
Awesome!
Traveled with Family-Friends, recommend for hose who want a bit of fun with
friends! Most liked the food, the horse ride, the staff, the cabin... have a
cowboy hat, boots and wrangler jeans to make more authentic for you!
Josie Blacknell, Brighton, England
Absolute
highlight of 2 week holiday in California
There were 8 of us traveling to various locations (4 children and 4 adults). We
were welcomed with open arms to the ranch. Accommodation, food, company, horses
and fab campfire singing were all first rate. The trip over the Grand Canyon in
the helicopter was breathtaking. I have highly recommended this ranch to
everyone I meet. The children (9,11, 13,13) have taken lasting memories with
them as we have. Thank you so much.
Love the Hepple and Page Family xxxx,

Loved
the whole experience!
This was fantastic and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone... Watching the
sunset over the Grand Canyon while drinking champagne on a horse with a cowboy
singing back in the saddle again is something Ill never forget.
Daisy from Belfast, Ireland
A Memory I will always Cherish
My son and I took the heli there and back, staying overnight. It was, at least
for me, the best part of our stay in Las Vegas. The horse riding was so
different to anything in England. The entertainment was brilliant. Casey Adams,
with his friends, entertained all evening and the next morning.
John from Camden, England
The Experience of a Lifetime
If you want to experience something completely different, this is the place to
go. The helicopter flight from Heli USA was superbly operated. The staff at the
West Ranch are so friendly and the horse back riding and the sunsets are
unforgettable. Casey Adams sang to us from 4pm until practically 7am the next
morning. We took my friend here as a surprise 30th birthday gift and we couldnt
have dreamed of anything more memorable.
Robin Nix, UK
I want to be a Cowgirl and work a ranch!
Stayed here half-way through our honeymoon. The overnight experience itself was
brilliant BBQ dinner, songs and stories around a campfire in the evening and
an early morning horse riding session which leads you to some fantastic views in
Joshua Tree Forest.
Rebecca Whip, Manchester, UK
Simply the Best
This was the best ever experience Ive had. The staff was extremely friendly and
helpful and went out of their way to accommodate my husband and myself. The
horseback sunset ride was great and my husband loved this, especially as it was
his first time on a horse.
