With coastline, forests, mountains and deserts, California is
among the most geographically diverse states in the country. At
any one of many California dude ranches, guests can experience
the parts of the Golden State that beautifully contrast the
hustle and bustle of the major cities.
Many California dude ranches are working cattle ranches that
have existed for generations. Over the years, they've added
modern amenities to cater to guests looking to experience life
on a cattle ranch. Some are luxurious, others are simple and
unpolished. The "right" ranch depends entirely on what the guest
is looking for. The more rustic accommodations can provide an
authentic feel for ranching in the early days, while lavish
resorts offer a mix of the old west with the indulgence of being
pampered.
At many California dude ranches, guests are encouraged to
participate in the chores of the ranch. Feeding livestock,
roping cattle, and tending horses all allow a visitor to
directly experience the daily life of a cowboy. Family members
preferring to watch from the sidelines are, of course, welcome
to as well.
In addition to horseback riding, the key element in all dude
ranches, guests may find that fishing, swimming, golf and tennis
are also available. Wagon rides, campfires, square dances, and
nightly entertainment can bring families together in a safe and
wholesome environment.
California has a long-established history in ranching. That
history can be seen and experienced on the acres and acres of
California dude ranches that continue to thrive today.
