Keeping Traditions Alive

We find that, so many times, people "assume" you go to a Dude Ranch, spend a few days riding horses and go home, only ocassionally thinking about what they did. Our experience over the last 20 years shows guests what we are already blessed to know.
A Dude Ranch vacation is something that gets in your blood and makes you want to come back year after year. For some, it is a life-changing experience.

Folks arrive here on Sunday as strangers, but by Saturday morning, strong frienships have formed, plans to meet back here next year are already in the works and (our favorite)...kids don't want to go to Disney World!!!! They want to come back here. They are curious about us and ask questions like "how can I get a job here" or "I would love to be a Wrangler"! What a far cry from the modern, electronic world we live in. After one day they forget about TV's, IPads, Internet & all the other things that draw them into that world. Instead they are up and out the door at 7AM to help saddle their horses, they eat hardy breakfasts with their families, they learn, they soak up nature, they ride, they ask a "gazillion" question, THEY keep US entertained,... and they too make lifelong friends. They reconnect with the most fundamental elements we grew up with. Strong family ties & nature!
We are proud of be a part of the Dude Ranchers Association and to continue offering this special vacation of a lifetime. We support our young people and encourage them to follow in our footsteps to keep this way of life strong and growing. What better way than to make sure that the future generations are well educated!
We hope you will help us, too. because either way (or, if you're lucky) BOTH ways, this is a WIN- WIN for all of us...
