Lonely Dell Ranch

Located in Lees Ferry, Lonely Dell Ranch was once an isolated settlement offered to pioneer missionaries during the Great Mormon Migration in Arizona. The families that occupied the ranch worked hard to cultivate the land and create a safe haven for other travelers. Currently, Lonely Dell Ranch is a peaceful, shaded area to relax, enjoy nature, and learn of the area’s rich history.
