‘A thousand western songs
have been written about the
joys of riding the range. For
most of the people who listen
to the songs, it’s just part of
the dream about when the

_west was wild and a horse
was a man’s best friend.

British Columbia’s dude
ranches bring that dream to
life and that’s probably one
of the reasons for their
popularity: they offer
everyone a chance to be part
of a dream for just a little
while.

Most of the dude ranches
are concentrated in the
Cariboo-Chilcotin area of
British Columbia. There are
two types of ranch: the
working ranch and the guest

- ranch, Both offer the guest
the.opportunity to go riding,
on anything from a short
trail ride to an overnight or
longer expedition.
Wranglers will lear the
guests through the hills and

rangeland, perhaps stop- —

_ ping along the way to point
‘out wildlife to plants native
to the area — besides

providing ‘views of the -

spectacular scenery. °
‘The working ranch gives
_its guests a chance to see

ranch operations. Depen- ©
ding on the time of year, this -

may mean branding, round-
- up, range-riding, or any of.
the many other chores that
occupy a rnacher’s time.

Guest ranches range from .

. the simple to the elaborate.

Most offer housekeeping .

_ cabins, often by a lake
.shore, with boat. rentals,
swimming, fishing and

hiking in addition to trail’

riding. Depending . on

location and time of year; -.. -
they may also offer op: ‘ .-. |
portunities for hunting. 2...)
