Top 20 Ranches brings you the best North American dude ranches, guest ranches and family ranch vacations, exclusively from the travel experts from the Emmy-winning PBS and globally broadcast travel TV show Equitrekking. Find your dream dude ranch vacation!

As we travel the world searching for the best ranches, resorts and equestrian travel destinations, we meet wonderful ranchers, whose history, lifestyle and passion for helping others experience the best of America’s dude and guest ranch hospitality is inspiring. We’ve ridden and filmed at many of these ranches for our Emmy Award-winning TV show Equitrekking, which broadcasts on PBS and international networks in over 65 countries, and we write about ranch vacations for leading publications.

It’s our mission to be the very best and find the very best, which is why in 2004, we launched the Equitrekking Vacation Guide and Equitrekking.com, to inspire experienced horse riders and those with no horse experience at all to saddle up and travel the world.

Enjoy perusing Equitrekking’s Top 20 Ranches to find your ideal ranch vacation! We are excited to promote all of the wonderful dude ranches and guest ranches that allow so many travelers to have once in a lifetime experiences… time and again.
