Dude Ranch - River Combos Make A Real Western Vacation

For a wonderful transition from hectic city life to the peace of the wilderness, many people enjoy spending a few days unwinding at a western dude ranch. To paraphrase Horace Greeley, once you've made the decision to "Go Western," here's your chance to enjoy the luxury accommodations of a riverside lodge or ranch. These breathtaking properties sit on a bend of the Colorado with a magical backdrop. Long a movie icon for the west, Castle Valley displays it red rock spires against the dark peaks of the La Sal Mountains.

Deluxe private rooms- each with private patios, beautiful views, and mini-kitchens - sit gracefully on around a central lodge where Western River guests enjoy hearty meals. Western's guests have their choice of exploring the territory on horseback or by 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Besides a fully equipped exercise studio, tennis courts, volleyball, and pool, the resort is perfect for lazy meanderings amid the riverside meadows. If you'd rather explore the shops and cafes of Moab, Utah, it's just a 30 minute drive to one of the wild West's most popular destinations. Striking views of Castle Rock and Fisher Towers are just out the picture window of your cozy room. Inside you'll enjoy large log beds, comfortable seating areas and a mini-kitchen.

Nearby are famous Slick Rock Trail for mountain biking, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Dead Horse Point.

You'll have time to swim a few laps in the Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge pool before meeting the rafts for a Cataract Canyon or Green River expedition.
