Top 10 Arizona Getaways: White Stallion Ranch

Whoa, pardner. Before you start thinking that our No. 3 pick offers a vacation for real cowboys and cowgirls only, consider this. Among all the horses, cookouts, rodeos and cattle, White Stallion Ranch has just as much for “horseless” vacations, too.

You’ll find plenty of the classic AZ dude ranch magic here, where making friends is effortless and there’s plenty of horseback riding. But White Stallion Ranch is also a resort, with a movie theater, sport courts and a game room. Here, the trail rides can include wine and cheese – or beer and Cheetos – and relaxation can include a day by the outdoor pool or spa services at the fitness center.

The kids have lots to choose from, too, including trail rides for ages five and over, a hands-on nature program and lots of live Western-style entertainment. If you’re saddle sore – or even afraid of getting saddle sore - guided hikes take place weekly to places like Panther Peak in the Saguaro National Park. It’s this kind of variety that makes White Stallion Ranch our No. 3 pick!
