If your little cowpokes are begging for something Western but you like things a little more luxe, you’ve found your perfect match at the Tanque Verde Ranch. The most upscale “dude ranch” you’ve ever experienced, you’ll be surrounded by Arizona’s breathtaking mountains but still have Wi-Fi. Go horseback riding all day then soak your sore muscles in a Jacuzzi tub—we are telling you this is the best of both worlds. The onsite Daily Kids Club offers arts and crafts, fishing excursion and nightly movies as well as visits to the Nature Center which is home to native desert animals, gems and minerals. One of the highlights is the the Morning Breakfast Ride, where you saddle up for a leisurely horseback mosey to the Homestead where they’ll cook your breakfast off-the-griddle.
