The Natural Luxury of an Arizona Dude Ranch Vacation

Beautiful weather and sunny days are a year-round natural
luxury in Arizona. One can easily argue that the weather and
the scenic beauty of the state are best enjoyed in the saddle
of a horse. Arizona dude ranches offer the opportunity to do
precisely that, and much more.

Horseback riding is the main event at dude ranches, but it
definitely isn’t all a visitor will find. Swimming pools and
tennis courts can be found at many ranches, and some even
offer health spas and massages. Activities often include
cattle roundups, hayrides, and cookouts. There is always
something to do, or not do, depending on the pace the guest
prefers.

Some Arizona dude ranches are operating working dude ranches.
Guests may enjoy working alongside the ranch hands, roping
and feeding cattle. Of course, no one is ever required to
work, but the opportunity is there for those desiring to take
an active role, and those willing to get dirty.

Other ranches in Arizona are known as “guest ranches”.
They’re not currently operating cattle ranches, and instead
the primary focus is on the comfort and enjoyment of their
guests. Guest ranches offer the usual dude ranch activities,
and provide a wide range of modern amenities. The type of
dude ranch to visit depends entirely on the experience the
traveler is looking for.

Fittingly, the Spanish influence is clearly seen in many
Arizona dude ranches. The American cowboy has roots that
directly trace back to the Mexican vaqueros, and Arizona
itself has very strong Spanish ties. The western hospitality
you will find at Arizona’s dude ranches can be easily summed
up: “mi casa es su casa.”
