Dude
Ranch Activities
While traditional dude ranch activities such as
horseback riding are paramount to your vacation at Rock Springs
Guest Ranch, we also provide many other activities to complete
your experience.
Hayride and Campout - Children only for
this rootin' tootin' good time. 
The outing includes dinner prepared over the open
grill, games, and story telling. An optional overnight campout
with the youth
counselors is great fun, and is sure to be
remembered for a lifetime.
Gourmet Night - While the children are
enjoying games and a sing along at the campout, it's adult's
night back at the ranch. Menu planning centers on a mature
palette with gourmet dishes, and hors d'oeuvres feature local
artisan cheeses and a tasting of Northwest wines. 
Campfires- Wednesday night is our family campfire night, complete with roasting marshmallows and eating s'mores. Also, on Tuesday while the children are away, the adults enjoy an evening around a campfire of their own.
Special Rides - Our all day luncheon ride takes you out to a beautiful site nestled beneath the trees for a full spread on the trail. We also have scheduled an early morning breakfast ride to catch the freshest time of day. Our kitchen will bring a full meal to you on the trail for both events!
In the evenings, we have a couple of special horse
events each week. They may include a demo with a professional
polo player, hosemanship with a professional horse trainer, or
the ever popular wranglers' drill team giving their riding
demonstration. This is your opportunity to see our barn staff
and professionals from our area show the discipline they are
trained in.
Fishing - Our stocked trout pond at Rock
Springs is ideal for brushing up on fly casting as well as for
serving as an introduction to fishing for our younger guests.
On Monday, fly casting instruction is available during the
casting clinic. A limited supply of flies and children's rods
can be purchased from our trading post and we encourage you to
bring your own equipment for fishing.
Massage - Ease your trail worn muscles with
an hour-long massage by licensed massage therapist Willow
Durant. Further soothe your muscles with a soak in our soothing
hot tub overlooking the natural spring-fed pond.
Yoga - A basic yoga class for all ages and
fitness levels, with no previous experience required. The class
consists of basic yoga postures, stretching, breathing, and
relaxation techniques.
Family Portraits - Share your vacation with
family and friends. This is the perfect opportunity to share
your vacation with family and friends on this year's holiday
card or as an alternative to studio portraits. Our beautiful
setting will make for a unique portrait.
On your own schedule- 
In addition to these special activities, you will
enjoy tennis,
basketball, volleyball, a heated swimming pool, an outdoor spa
tub, horseshoes, billiards, ping-pong, hiking and jogging
trails, as well as the company of others looking for the same
experiences.
An additional charge applies to all off site recreation, massages, and any photographs purchased from the photographer. Other activities that are scheduled weekly with pick up available from the ranch are caving, golf, and rafting. See information about these under regional activities.
