Adventure vacation travel:American West Guest Ranch Trips

Typical historical or themed vacations lead travelers to Europe’s sites. But to really expand your horizons, you should look toward the more unorthodox historical trips: western ranch vacations. Even if you are not crazy about the wild west, you may surprise yourself with how much you enjoy the nostalgia of an older, hardier time.

Many different types of ranches can be found. You have your reenactment ranches that are heavily themed, you have the most common: the outdoor adventure ranches, and then you have ranches which are more hunting-intensive.

The good thing about dude ranch vacation is, though they are a niche market, there are several different choices and a very large span of the western United States, Mexico, and Canada from which to pick. This means you can find one in your specific realm of interest in the right climate at all different times of the year in many different price ranges.

Dude ranches are not specifically for children or for adults, so you are capable of designing your own vacation in order to please everyone. For quality assurance, go through the Dude Ranchers’ Association, which represents the best vacation spots and makes sure they all follow the guidelines and regulations of the Association and Federal and state laws.

There has been some debate regarding the hunting portion of some dude ranches, especially when non-native species are imported purely for the purpose of hunting. Booking a vacation through the Dude Ranchers’ Association might help squash any qualms on that front, since the hunting at those ranches is done in accordance with the strictest of laws.

Dude ranches tend to have the quaintness of a bed and breakfast but with specific activities that bed and breakfasts lack. Since they cater to a niche market, however, the lodging tends to be cheap–a family of four can stay for a week for under a thousand dollars with meals and activities included. Try finding that in Europe!
