Dude Ranchers’ Association

Experience the true American West and cowboy way of life with a stay at a Dude Ranchers’ Association member ranch. Celebrating 100 years as an organization in 2026, the DRA represents over 90 premier guest ranches across the Western U.S. and Canada, each having passed a two-year inspection to guarantee the highest standards of safety, quality, and hospitality.

These all-inclusive destinations offer an escape where lodging, home-cooked meals, and daily activities are all part of the experience. While horseback riding is the heart of every stay, guests also enjoy fly fishing, hiking, white-water rafting, and much more. Whether you seek the rustic authenticity of a working cattle ranch, the family-oriented atmosphere of a traditional ranch, or the refined comfort of a luxury ranch, DRA members ensure an honest, high-caliber adventure. Disconnect from the digital busy world and reconnect with nature and heritage in the most spectacular landscapes of North America.
