More than a dozen, inexpensive, western dude ranches stay open in autumn and winter
For those of our readers already looking ahead to an autumn or winter vacation: keep in mind that though the majority of low-cost western dude ranches are in the high-altitude Colorado Rockies, a number of them are found in sunnier states (like Arizona) or in low-altitude locations of Colorado, and these stay open throughout the year. If you'll request a copy of the publication, "The Dude Rancher," published by The Dude Ranchers Association of Cody, Wyoming (P.O.Box 2307, Cody 82414; tel. 866/399-2339), you'll learn the identity of several big, guest-accepting, dude ranches that remain open November through March, when others close, and charge less than $1,100 per person for seven fall/winter nights of accommodations, all three meals daily, and one week's use of a horse. I failed to point out the year-round availability of some dude ranches in last week's blog on the spring and summer activity at these unique American institutions.
