Every year, Texas gets over 72 million visitors, and most of the state, apart from the three largest cities, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas are on the “green” travel list.
The vast Texas landscape will never feel crowded – perfect for a ranch vacation.
Texas is the biggest producer of cattle in America, and ranches are a way of life.
On a guest ranch (often known as a dude ranch), you can learn more about the cowboy way of life and have a unique vacation in a safe environment, out in the beauty of nature.

If you’re inspired by your vacation, you might even want to relocate, to enjoy a simple life without the hustle and bustle or the need to be constantly online.
The focus of ranch life is on caring for the animals and enjoying the landscape in a way that is natural and sustainable.
A ranch vacation can give you a taste for this, showing you a different way of life – a very exciting alternative to a 9-5 office job.
Daily Activities
On your ranch vacation, one of the most enjoyable activities is spending time looking after and riding the horses.
Horseback is the ideal way to explore the Texan countryside, especially early morning and at sunset, when the weather is cooler.
Many ranches also offer hiking, swimming, and fishing.
You can lodge in a bunkhouse with other guests if you’re looking for a rustic experience, or many guest lodges have private accommodation with their own bathrooms.
Dining at a guest ranch is often communal – just think of delicious Texas barbecue and plenty of fresh produce for breakfast.
Where to Go

West 1077 Guest Ranch is known for being extremely peaceful, with a distinct lack of tourism.
It’s a great place if you want to study wildlife when out on your daily rides.
A ranch vacation in Texas can really open up your eyes to a different lifestyle.

“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first.

The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
