Most dude ranches are family-owned and operated, and offer a wide range of vacation experiences. There are working ranches operating in an old style just as they were more than 100 years ago, where tourists can now help herd and run cattle with real cowboys.
For those seeking a softer experience, more luxurious dude ranches are available, such as Siwash Lake Ranch, where guests can enjoy spas in sumptuous lodges or practice yoga in the great outdoors. There are also lavish canvas-clad suites, combining luxury with a rustic ambience.
Activities such as trekking, fly-fishing, swimming and canoeing are also available for those adventure seekers.
