Who says spring breaks are only for kids. Spring is the perfect time to grab a sweetie, a gal pal, or a buddy for a week at a dude ranch.

The Dude Ranchers Association can help travelers pick their perfect ranch from over 100 member ranches across the western U.S. and Canada. This spring many ranches are offering grown up specials including: • BBQ Bootcamp at Alisal Guest Ranch near Santa Barbara. During this 3-night, 4-day stay guests will enjoy workshops on grilling,a breakfast ride to Historic Old Adobe, and meals from local celebrity chefs, winemakers, and brewmasters.
• Spring into Paradise at Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Montana. Guests can relax with days spent fly-fishing, taking yoga classes, horseback riding, and hiking just outside of Yellowstone National Park.
• Golf Getaway at Rancho de los Caballeros in Arizona. This package includes three rounds of golf at the award-winning Los Caballeros Golf Club, unlimited range balls, gourmet meals, and casita accommodations.
Dude Ranches offer all-inclusive vacations that are perfect for everyone, from the littlest rancher to Grandpa and Grandma. Horseback riding, hiking, petting zoos, swimming holes, rodeos, fishing, games, skeet shooting, archery, art classes, cooking classes and more await your discovery on your next Dude Ranch Vacation.
