Dude Ranch: Tucson, Arizona

Saddle up, partners! Relive the Wild West at an authentic ranch in Tucson’s rugged, rolling borderland. Hitch up your boots and hang onto your 10-gallon hat for daily horseback riding and even a chance to chase some cows in a team-penning contest! Whether we’re having a barbecue, kicking up our heels at the local hoedown, swimming, fishing, or touring the museum featuring the best creepy-crawlies of the desert — it’s sure to be a good time. At night we gather at the local watering hole (The Dog House), to shoot pool and swap tales with other outlaws. Three pieces of advice: Don’t cozy up to the cactus, be nice to the pretty ladies, and take off your spurs at night!

NOTE: Adaptive riding not available.
