It lies between the Patagonia Mountains west, Huachuca Mountains east and the Canelo Hills north. The San Rafael is an uncommon, sequestered hidden valley unknown to many native Arizonans, yet is the location for over 50 feature films including OKLAHOMA. It is an extraordinarily unique piece of the American West, steeped in history as the western entry point for the Europeans into what is now the United States in 1539, to the Apaches and Buffalo Soldiers in the 1800s. The San Rafael Valley has been a successful ranching landscape for generations of many families for hundreds of years. Perfectly situated between 4,800 and 6,000 feet elevation, the climate is mild and pleasant year round. Temperatures range from the 80s to 90s in the summers and 50s to 60s in the winter.
