When the rolling desert landscape beckons you to explore, who are you to argue? Adventure girls won’t want to miss Rancho de los Caballeros, a short drive away in rural Wickenburg.
Rancho de los Caballeros features 20,000 acres of gorgeous Sonoran Desert, perfect for hiking, skeet shooting and bird watching. A championship golf course, tennis and swimming are offered on site, with professional instruction
at many levels. The centerpiece of the Ranch experience, however, is horseback riding. With 100 horses, impeccably trained and educated staff, and so much to explore, even first-timers will become horse lovers at the Ranch.
When the exercise portion of your day is complete, relax in the cozy spa. Don’t be fooled by the intimate ranch house locale trained estheticians are as skilled as those in the big resorts. No trip to the Ranch is complete
without the indulgent “Let Yourself Glow Body Wrap.”
While the days can be as full as you like, save some energy for the nights at the Ranch. Don’t miss the cowboy cookout, complete with a gourmet meal prepared over a mesquite fire, Western entertainment and roasting marshmallows. Speaking of meals, you will go over the moon with the gourmet meals served at the ranch. Not rustic by any measure, the chefs prepare delectable dishes you’d expect from a Las Vegas resort, not a ranch in Wickenburg. Of special note are the desserts, which you will remember long after your trip is complete.
Although Rancho de los Caballeros is a guest ranch, you will feel like family from the minute you check in. The gregarious staff are knowledgeable, outgoing and genuinely interested in the enjoyment of every guest.
No wonder so many guests make this an annual destination. www.ranchodeloscaballeros.com
