How Would A Family Ranch Vacation Getaway Sound For A Fun Activity?

By Karelle N. Lindgren


Did you ever imagine that a real dude ranch still existed today? Well, hang on to your hats partners because it is possible for you to experience and enjoy an authentic Old Western ranch. Surprisingly it is possible for your family to see and take part in one of the actual Old West working ranches that are still available.

Children and adults 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. 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 watch 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. You can select from so many dude ranch vacation activity options that you are strongly encouraged to spend at least three nights to allow you to experience as much as possible.

We can look at some of the activities that the dude ranch will offer including three ranch meals daily, riding instructions, opportunities to participate in brushing, feeding and saddling and of course horseback riding. You can also observe or learn to participate in arena activities including barrel racing. 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 luck at fishing or enjoy a relaxing ride. The facilities provide you with comfort and privacy while 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. Don't miss the dance and recreations hall complete with live music provided for the western dancing to take place. If you choose, you can also find 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. This is one experience that will provide something for everybody and will not be forgotten.
