Faraway Ranch Historic District, Historic ranch district in Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona.

Faraway Ranch Historic District contains a main house, barn, cowboy quarters, and storage buildings scattered across the Bonita Canyon landscape at approximately 5,160 feet (1,570 m) elevation. The structures demonstrate how a working ranch was organized and operated.

Swedish immigrants Neil and Emma Erickson founded the homestead in 1887 on this remote mountainous land. The property later became a guest ranch under their daughter Lillian and her husband Ed Riggs, helping to draw attention to the area and its eventual protection.

Lillian Erickson Riggs, a college graduate, ran the cattle operation and from the 1920s took in paying guests, letting rooms and hiring out horses with guided trail tours; guest operations continued into the mid-1960s. The ranch house keeps its adobe walls, open porches and a glazed porch that served as the guest dining room. The Park Service holds the ranch's furnishings, papers and records.

The Park Service maintains the buildings and offers guided tours when structures are not undergoing renovation. Wear sturdy shoes for walking on uneven ground, and allow time to acclimate to the higher elevation.

The property helped spark tourism interest in the area known as the Wonderland of Rocks during the guest ranch era. This visitor attention directly contributed to the area's protection as a national monument in 1924.
