The Dude Ranchers’ Association

The Dude Ranchers’ Association was formed in 1926 to preserve this special way of life and the wonderful environment in which dude ranching takes place. When you vacation at a Dude Ranchers’ Association member ranch, you can be sure of a quality vacation.

Saddle up for the adventure of a lifetime at a DRA member dude ranch! Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or looking for a relaxing escape, you’ll find endless opportunities to explore and unwind. Ride through breathtaking landscapes on horseback, hike scenic trails, cast a line in pristine waters, take a refreshing swim, soar on a zip line, brave white-water rapids, experience the excitement of a rodeo, join a cattle drive, or dance the night away to western tunes. With activities for all ages, dude ranches are the perfect getaway for solo travelers, families, corporate retreats, and more.
