Riordan Mansion Tour-- Built in 1904 for two Riordan families, Riordan Mansion is an impressive reminder of gracious living in a small, territorial logging town. The historic building is an Arizona treasure — a remarkable example of Arts and Crafts style architecture featuring a rustic exterior of log-slab siding, volcanic stone arches, and hand-split wooden shingles. The expansive home has forty rooms, over 13,000 square-feet of living area, and servants' quarters. The Riordan residence was designed by the creator of Grand Canyon's El Tovar Hotel, Charles Whittlesey.

Bearzona -- Bearzona invites guests to drive into the largest ponderosa forest and witness animals in natural habitats - all from their own private vehicle or motor coach. Drive through as many times as you would like fefore leaving the park. There is no re-entry once you exit the park. Drive through the Arizona wilderness viewing our varied collection of North American animals from the comfort and safety of your vehicle. Get up close to these otherwise elusive animals during your three mile drive at your own pace. After you Drive-thru, more animals are exhibited in Fort Bearzona, a beautiful 20 - acre walk-thru area, along winding paths which is more of a "zoo" typesetting.
