The richness, romance, and experience of the Old West are still available to the adventure vacationer who likes life comforts at the same time as some of the most enjoyable settings to be found. Dude Ranches add a touch of today's modern pleasures to round out a week or two that will change your life forever.

The first Dude ranches were on the plain side - you rode hard and slept hard, unrolling a bedroll in a bunkhouse that offered more cowboy authenticity than creature comfort. Today lodgings vary from log cabins with hot tubs under the stars to luxurious resorts with full service spas.

While dude ranches offer the cowboy in you an array of horseback oriented activities, there are plenty of other adventures "out of the saddle". Additional guest activities include fly-fishing and instruction, canoeing, hiking, wildlife and nature viewing, national park tours, hunting, rock climbing, white-water rafting, tennis, golf even a trip into a local city for a bit of shopping. That's the big difference between a dude ranch and a working ranch - you can use a dude ranch as a hotel, a base for your vacation, and it's up to you how active or otherwise you'd like to be.
