🌵 Dive into the history of Rancho Manana, where Tonto Bar & Grill now resides. Originally established as a dude ranch in 1944 by Ted and China Loring, along with Romy and Jean Lowdermilk, Rancho Manana was a true escape for city dwellers seeking an authentic cowboy experience.

The ranch was more than just a getaway; it was a gateway to the Wild West, offering guests a chance to immerse themselves in the rugged lifestyle of the Arizona frontier. Romy Lowdermilk, known as the "Father of Dude Ranching in Arizona," brought his expertise and charm to Rancho Manana, making it a beloved destination until it closed in 1955.

Pictured here are China and Ted Loring on the banks of Howard Wash in 1948, a snapshot of the legacy that still echoes through the landscape today. As you dine at Tonto Bar & Grill, you’re not just enjoying a meal—you’re experiencing a piece of Arizona’s rich cowboy heritage.
