Might A Dude Ranch Weekend Stay Be Good For Your Family?

By Karelle N. Lindgren


Did you ever imagine that a real dude ranch still existed currently? You can actually visit a real life Old Western ranch that is still in operation today and welcoming visitors to stay and enjoy the ranch life. There is truly a real Old West operating ranch that is available to take your family to visit and take part in the daily activities.

Many people have at one time or another dreamt about living life in the Old West, riding the open range on horseback and spending evenings around the campfire. We have done some checking around and learned it is possible to live out those dreams on a typical old fashioned ranch from the old west doing things the same way they were accomplished for hundreds of years. Imagine having a front row seat to see how the hay is grown, cattle and horses being fed, rounding up the herds to drive them to grazing areas and even observe the calves get branded.

Your entire family can be delighted and entertained as you experience the dude ranch activities for a couple of days and nights, or even as a weekend in order to experience all the incredible activities they provide whether you choose a lot or a little. The dude ranch vacation activities include so many options that it is recommended you stay at least three nights so you can experience as much as possible of all the things they offer.

The family ranch vacations will offer three ranch meals daily, riding instructions, horseback riding, and opportunities to participate in brushing, feeding and saddling. Arena activities including barrel racing are available to watch or even to participate in. The assorted things you can select to take part of include a roping clinic, archery, hiking, hay wagon rides, swimming, western style dancing, the popular campfires and even just loafing around to relax.

I can just picture it now, the gorgeous view of rolling meadows dotted with ponds and rivers where you can try your skill at fishing or enjoy a relaxing ride. The facilities provide you with comfort and privacy while they surround you in the western atmosphere. You can also stop by the ice-cream shop for a treat or shop for the necessary souvenirs in the gift shop and enjoy the tangy aroma of home-style meals serviced in the country style dining room. Don't miss the dance and recreations hall featuring live music provided for the western dancing to take place. If you choose, you can also enjoy game rooms with Ping-Pong and billiards, a weight and fitness room, or even a reading room where you can escape with a book to enjoy some quiet time. You are certain to find something for everyone for an experience that you will not forget.
