Rancho de los Caballeros, AZ
The mission of the Sonoran Desert ranch is simple: keep the tradition of the Spanish caballeros ("gentlemen of horseback") going. If you're looking to get your hands dirty, you can help out with the cattle chores --- after all, this is a working dude ranch. Otherwise, head to the 100 horse corral and ride one of the many trails with professional wranglers, set out on a scavenger hunt, or tee-off at the on-site championship golf course. Join the Cowboy Cookout dinners served from a chuck wagon under the star-filled sky, then retreat back to one of the 79 casitas, with creature comforts such as as fireplace, a patio, or jetted tub.
