Colts and Cowboys
What is a more iconic Texan experience than riding horseback through the hill country? Located in Bandera, the cowboy capital of the world, rests a dude ranch that is off the beaten path. At Dixie Dude Ranch you get the chance to experience Texan heritage and history firsthand. For 81 years, this dude ranch has been teaching city slickers how to find their inner cowboy. Visitors get 2 separate rides a day, one in the morning and one at night and get to venture out on trails that are forefather roamed. The dude ranch experience comes with all the fixins including Texas-sized meals, games and goats. It’s easy to see why this family-fun ranch has been awarded the Texas Treasure Business Award!
