HERITAGE

The Butler family settled on what would become the X Diamond Ranch in the mid-1890s. Molly cooked and hosted thousands of guests in the Molly Butler Lodge. John added to the family presence by guiding such folks as Zane Grey and Theodore Roosevelt into the backwoods of the White Mountains. In the early 1900s, John and Molly moved into South Fork Canyon and established The X Diamond Ranch. The working cattle ranch is still owned and operated by their descendants, who now share the ranch’s treasures with folks from around the world. History abounds on the X Diamond Ranch.
