La Casa del High Jinks is a Pueblo Revival style house built in 1928 on High Jinks Ranch in Pinal County, Arizona, southeast of Oracle. The ranch was originally founded in 1912 by Buffalo Bill Cody, who operated a gold mine there; after Cody's death, the property was seized for unpaid taxes and sold to Lewis Claude Way, who constructed the house and completed it in 1928. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the ranch sits surrounded by Coronado National Forest with sweeping views of the Galiuro Mountains and Bassett Peak, positioned as a gateway to the Arizona Trail. The remote location, roughly an hour's drive from Tucson and Saguaro National Park, places it near Oracle, a town known for hosting Biosphere 2 and its International Dark Sky Park designation.
