Discover Zane Grey History

Zane Grey - "My Beloved Arizona" was his home away from home.


Zane Grey first came to Rim Country in 1918.  Two things happened:  One, he met Babe Haught and the rest of the Haught family and two, he fell in love with the area.  By 1921 he had the original Zane Grey Cabin built which he always called his “hunting lodge” under the Rim and came, most years, in the fall to hunt and write until 1929. 
 

In 1929 he brought a film crew to Rim Country to film a bear hunt, apparently unaware that the hunting season had been changed.  He attempted to get a special license but was denied.  This disagreement led Grey to vow to never return to Arizona.  The cabin was left abandoned for over 30 years.  For several years Babe and Elma “Ellie” Haught looked after the cabin and Ellie continued to look after it even after Babe died until she was no longer able to spend the summers at their cabin.  Eventually, time, the elements, and vandalism, reduced the cabin to a tattered shell.

The original Zane Grey cabin was located 18 miles east of Payson along Tonto Creek beneath the Mogollon Rim, near Christopher Creek, Arizona. The cabin was built in the early 1920's and burned in the 1990 Dude Fire. He always called his “hunting lodge

Today, tourists can visit an exact replica of the cabin in Green Valley Park, located in Payson, Arizona. It was made from local Ponderosa pine trees.  The replica was dedicated in 2005.
