One of the greatest places to take your family is a Colorado dude ranch, a little pocket of untamed country that you can experience with your kids. I personally have visited many ranches across the west and can vouch that they are a great place for the entire family. Think about it... with almost any vacation Mom has to organize where you eat, where everyone is, and what activities to do. A dude ranch is completely worry free for the entire family. You see, there are activities for kids and activites that engage adults as well. They are family friendly because they also give you the opportunity to be together. In a normal vacation Mom is getting a masage, Dad is off doing something, and the kids are in another world entirely. At a dude ranch you and your whole family can do activities together!

Oh, and I forgot that there is a great website with all kinds of great information called www.cdgra.com.
