How Would A Family Dude Ranches Getaway Sound For A Fun Event?

By Caleb D. Cormier


Have you ever noticed a dude ranch other than in the old western films? Believe it or not you can actually enjoy and spend some time on an authentic Old Western ranch. There is actually a real Old West operating ranch that is available to take your family to visit and take part in the daily activities.

Children and grown-ups alike have usually had dreams about living the life of an old cow hand, sitting around the campfire in the evening and riding the open range on horseback. After some investigating, we discovered it is possible to locate a typical old fashioned ranch doing things the same way they have been done for hundreds of years in the real old west. You can feel the experience of rounding up the herds to drive them to grazing areas, see how they grow hay, feed the cattle and horses and brand the calves.

Your whole 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 encompass 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 dude ranch resorts will offer three ranch meals daily, riding instructions, horseback riding, and opportunities to take part in brushing, feeding and saddling. You can also watch or learn to participate in arena activities including barrel racing. You can also choose to spend some time relaxing and just loafing around or take part in activities like archery, hiking, hay wagon rides, swimming, western dancing, learn how to rope and of course campfires.

Imagine the view you will see of the rolling meadows with trickling streams, ponds where you can try your skill at fishing or just take a leisurely horseback ride. The facilities furnish you with comfort and privacy as they surround you in the western atmosphere. You will enjoy the tasty home-style meals that are served up in the popular country style dining room and visit the gift shop to pick up some treasured souvenirs or stop by the ice-cream shop for a tasty treat. Also enjoy the lively Western dancing taking place in the dance and recreation hall that provides live music. And, they also provide game rooms with billiards and Ping-Pong, a weight and fitness room or a special reading room if you prefer a little quiet to dig into a good book. This is one experience that will provide something for everybody and will not be forgotten.
