Every one of us has, at one time or another, fantasized about life in the country. We were kids back then most likely, but don't you agree that a ranch vacation is a perfect getaway from the stressful confines of city living? With very little pollution and a relaxing atmosphere you can step away from reality and fulfill a childhood dream. This condensed travelogue should be your one-stop guide to the best ranch vacation spots where you can take your family on your next getaway.
Hartley Ranch (NM)
Basically, this is a cattle ranch which measures more than 25,000 acres. You can view the many mesas and canyons in the area in the background, and navigating the 200-some miles of trail, you can see a variety of trees, including oak and juniper trees. This ranch has an impressive collection of horses, including some of America's finest thoroughbreds. Cattle round-ups generally occur any time of the day, as stock is moved from pasture to pasture, while horseback riding is available on one of the many trails designated for tourists.
Blue Mountain Ranch (UT)
This is the absolute cream of the crop as far as ranch vacations go. If you are fond of Wild West lore, you may or may not be familiar with this place, because this is where a certain Robert Leroy Parker grew up - of course, before he became known as Butch Cassidy. We kid you not, but Mr. Cassidy has some kin working on this dude ranch as ranch hands! You have your pick of activities, such as visiting other dude ranches, taking the perfunctory horseback ride or going on a cattle drive just like they did back in the day. Lodging includes meals, trail rides, cattle drives, camaraderie and ranch chores that will give you a real taste of the old west. The following activities are available for you to enjoy; Horse back riding, campfire singing, cattle driving, western entertainment, cattle roping, and wildlife viewing.
Grapevine Canyon Ranch (AZ)
This is known as a dude ranch, a ranch for working men and women and working cattle ranch, offers horseback riding vacations, pack trips and adventure horse treks, in the prettiest part of Arizona. Here's another one for you Western history buffs - the great Apache Chief Cochise and the notorious Geronimo himself grew up and operated around this area, the Dragoon Mountains, indeed a fascinating place to learn more about Western and Native American history. The terrain here is quite varied, and across the hills and mountains you can find a cornucopia of flora and fauna. Whether you're up for a long, adventurous trek or a simple gallop across the ranch, you can choose from over seventy different horses from their stables.
