Grand Canyon Western Dude Ranch

Near the town of Meadview, in the wilds of northern Arizona, U.S.A., and just outside the Grand Canyon National Park, this is a great old style dude ranch that takes you right back to the 19th century, but with very much modern comforts.

It has a number of cosy cabins around the main ranch house, all comfortable and clean, and furnished in that classic, rustic western style; with all wooden log walls and ceilings. They all have their own entrance too, and come with private bathroom, a study desk and fireplace.

It also rents a couple of glamping tents with much the same facilities, except for the private bathroom and log walls obviously!

Horseback riding is a big attraction here, with some great guided tours in the surrounding countryside where, if you like, you can also organize over night camping stays. You can organize horse drawn wagon rides too, buffalo safaris, night time cook outs around the camp fire and helicopter rides around the nearby Grand Canyon.

In the main ranch house you’ll find plenty of good food cooked all day and served up in the dining room by an open fire, and there’s also the Diamond Bar with a good selection of wines and beers and live country music most evenings.

The nearest airport is Grand Canyon West Airport, less than 20 miles away.
