It is widely said that Texas is like anything else in the U.S.; and much of this is true: Texas and cowboys herding cattle are a common place in the collective imagination. Texas is also the hub of the ranching industry in the country. One of the most outstanding ranches is the "King Ranch" founded in 1853 by Captain Richard King, which is a local and national landmark. Dude ranches are for those who are willing to leave city life stress behind and enjoy of the natural lifestyle of the countryside.

Ranches in Texas are a family tradition, which make them very special for visitors who can find a family environment that will make them feel like in their home place. Surprisingly, the dude ranch trend recent started in the decade of 1920 when the massive arrival of eastern and international tourists motivated cattle ranches to open their doors to give accommodation to the visitors, where they had the opportunity to experience at first hand the real cowboy lifestyle by helping in the daily chores and the maintenance of the ranch. With this unexpected success, dude ranches propagated all across the country as dude ranches Arizona, dude ranches Wyoming, dude ranches in Oregon an in other states where the concept of the dude ranch evolved to make it more appealing to the modern tourist, offering new attractions of the country life as horseback riding, rodeos, swimming, fishing, campfires, square dances, hiking and others, depending on each dude ranch. Isn't this amazing fun? Indeed it is, where else you can be in contact with nature, seeing the start clear in the sky at night, riding a purebred horse and do some rodeo as in the movies. This is the type of healthy fun -for the body and the soul- you can not get in the city at all.
