Tucson, Arizona is home to a number of dude ranches. For those first-timers to the area, this sort of experience will really give you a feel for the desert and all it offers. In fact, the dude ranch I happened to stay at several years ago had been featured on several western television shows back in the '70s. Often guests are given a chance to discover the Tucson landscape up close on the back of a horse.
For those visitors who don't particularly want to play cowboy during their entire trip, they can take a drive to a ranch instead. You can easily find day ranches that offer several hours of horseback riding at your own pace. In the evening you can find a nice spa in which to relax and unwind after a long ride.
Tucson Offers Down Home Charm
The good thing about Tucson is that the town feels small, but it offers all the comforts of a big city. While it does get hot in the summer, the winters are comfortable and locals spend their time enjoying golf games and outdoor activities. In fact, many northerners visit Tucson during the winter to get away from the cold.
There is also history to be found in Tucson since the wild west experience did once exist in this part of Arizona. From Tucson, you can take day trips to other towns that were well-known for gun fighting in earlier times. Tucson is a great place to relax and spend time doing as much or as little as your itinerary allows.
