If you have the money and the time, staying at a dude ranch is the best way to relax and enjoy the best of the Old West without many of its discomforts. Being in the quiet desert environment 24 hours a day will provide an excellent opportunity to see and experience the desert.
These ranches are not motels! Each is geared to stays of at least several days and considers themselves "destination resorts" where you have come to enjoy their facilities. The rates reflect the full service and facilities they offer. The following is only a selection; check the Tucson Official Visitors Guide for complete listings and latest information.
