Authentic Old West Ranch
Rawah Ranch opened for the first time in 1952, providing guests with a place to rest, relax, and experience an authentic Western guest ranch. Activities look much the same today, with our earliest guests enjoying horseback riding, fishing, and hiking. Since then, we have added modern conveniences to our cabins and grounds, but the allure of the Old West remains. Experience a destination that has been providing guests with an authentic Western getaway for over seven decades.
“We’ve been to a lot of ranches. Rawah has: best selection of rides, best food, best entertainment, and friendliest staff.” -From Rawah Ranch Roundup 1998
