Trail rides on horseback are the major attraction for many families vacationing at numerous dude ranches scattered around the southwestern state of Arizona, USA. Children and their parents mount Western saddles on the gentle four-footed animals that are guided by experienced cowboy wranglers through the arid but beautiful desert terrain. Trail trips of one to two hours or longer usually are offered mornings and afternoons and range from leisurely rides at a walk to faster paces that include loping. Horseback riding is the mainstay of all Arizona dude ranches.
