There's just one problem. The road leading to the eating establishment crosses part of one of Arizona's state parks, Dead Horse Ranch Park on the Verde River. And Arizona State Parks officials have decided they don't want the liability of commercial traffic crossing the land. So State Parks has filed suit in Yavapai County Superior Court demanding that the members of the Mabery family, which owns the restaurant and who have been longtime ranchers in the area, agree with the state to restrict the traffic crossing Dead Horse Ranch. The suit has gone over like a lead balloon in Cottonwood.
People come from all over for their dinners, skits and music.
The Blazin' M is an extremely popular place. The restaurant sits on eight acres owned by the Maberys. The Maberys built the restaurant in 1994.
