Accommodations are Southwestern in d cor and first-class in quality. Some like their dude-ranch adventures served with a generous portion of authenticity. There are plenty of wide-open spaces to explore, with more than 200 miles of trails winding through 25,000 acres of spectacular scenery. Choose from a great stock of thoroughbreds and quarter horses, then hit the dusty trail. For a change of course, try a little whitewater rafting on the legendary Rio Grande, or take a day trip to historic Santa Fe and Taos.
Meals are home-cooked and delicious, and the rooms comfortable and cozy.
The Maynard Guest Ranch is the place to hitch your pony. Step back in time at this cozy outpost surrounded by the spectacular Gila and Apache National Forests near the scenic town of Luna on the Arizona border. Saddle up and roam the mountains and valleys where some of the Old West's legendary outlaws stirred up havoc. The rock hoodoos and catacombs of Apache country make for a perfect extended detour. The little buckaroos will love Kids Corral, the Indian teepee, hay maze, and petting zoo.
