Cottonwood Canyon Ranch

The original pioneers came to the land as explorers, as dreamers—claiming a hunk of dirt to make a life. They came, as historians remind us, “not to paradise where ease awaited them, but to the most demanding of areas.” They dug for water and built corrals; they tilled crops and built their own homes; they fought poverty and hunger, but they made a place for their children. Their hard work, determination and grit will always be admired and respected. These are their stories. William McD
