Covarrubias Adobe, the Los Rancheros Visitadores clubhouse

Los Rancheros Visitadores or the "Visiting Ranchers" is a social club in the United States.[1] The group meets on ranch land in Santa Barbara and embarks northward on a 60-mile (97 km) journey across the countryside after receiving a blessing at the Santa Ynez Mission.[2] It attracts over 700 riders on its annual trek.[3]

It was founded by the banker and United Airlines co-founder Jack Mitchell and friends, and Mitchell was the first president and led the group for 25 years.[4] Members and guests have included Edward Borein, Thomas M. Storke, Clark Gable, Ronald Reagan, and Walt Disney.[4]

In 1938, Los Rancheros acquired the Covarrubias Adobe from historian and author John Southworth for $15,000, and they undertook reconstruction and strengthening of the house in 1940.[5]
