(BPT) - Are you tired of the same old adventureless vacations? Consider staying at a dude ranch! Vacationing at a dude ranch is a chance to experience the cowboy lifestyle in incredible locations.
Dude ranches have been around for over a century. Thanks to the hard work of the Dude Ranchers' Association (DRA), these ranches have been able to continue to offer visitors the singular experience of living the western way of life.
