"While dude ranches still provide that one-of-a-kind ‘cowboy-style' vacation you can't find anywhere else, many have also expanded their offerings to appeal to the diverse and discriminating tastes of today's traveler," says Colleen Hodson of the Dude Ranchers' Association, an organization that represents more than 100 dude ranches.

"There are predictions that this winter will be harsh, especially in the Northern regions, so we're suggesting that people needing a winter break should look to the Southwest, such as the sun-drenched deserts of Arizona, or the warm, enchanting lands of New Mexico," said Colleen Hodson, executive director for the Dude Ranchers' Association (DRA).
