The search for the Redfield Canyon Cliff House, also known as the Hope Jones Cliff House in Southern Arizona, is a fascinating journey into the region's history.
In this difficult journey I will take you to the Redfield Canyon Cliff house also known as the Hope Jones Cliff House.
In Redfield Canyon, within the Galiuro Mountains, stands a cliff house constructed by a cowboy named Chick Logan. Chick, who rounded up wild horses in the canyon during the 1930s, met and wed Harriet, a divorcee with two children, on a trip to Reno, Nevada. The family returned to Arizona and began building their home into the cliff of Redfield Canyon in 1936, completing it after three years. Although the Logan Family resided there briefly, the experience profoundly impacted Harriet's son, Frank Logan, who penned the short novel "A Cave House Ranch" inspired by their life in Redfield Canyon.
In the 1930s, Hope Iselin, a young woman in her twenties, arrived in Arizona. She began purchasing land around Redfield Canyon and acquired a house from the Logan Family. Her initial intention was to raise horses and allow them to roam freely. Originating from a well-known Rhode Island family of affluent financiers and thoroughbred horse owners, her experience with horses may have fueled her passion for the Western lifestyle.
Hope married a cowboy named Honeycutt Jones, and they had a son, Archer, before divorcing. For some time, Hope raised her son in the secluded cliff house. She resided there for over a decade, later splitting her time between Redfield Canyon and a small horse ranch on the east side of Tucson. The ranch in Redfield Canyon, operated by Hope, was known as the C-Spear Ranch. The Bureau of Land Management eventually prohibited her from grazing her horses on BLM land, and the ranch shifted to solely cattle operations. A cowboy employed by Hope and his family resided in the cliff house for two years.
As of 2001, the C-Spear Ranch was still active in Redfield Canyon under the management of cowboy Johnny Lavin. Hope Jones, who celebrated her 94th birthday in 2001, resided in a Tucson apartment. She retained ownership of the nearby small horse ranch, which she visited occasionally. Despite vandalism over time, the cliff house continues to stand as a stunningly beautiful marvel for those determined enough to discover it.
