Brief Background of the DRA

The Dude Ranchers’ Association was founded in 1926 to promote and protect the interests of dude ranches and to establish standards of quality, safety, and authenticity. Today, it provides an organized structure for members to exchange ideas and experiences about the industry. But not just anyone can be a member of the DRA; all ranches must undergo a two-year inspection and approval process for membership. 

Reasons to Book with a DRA Member

We Prioritize the Guest Experience

Members of the DRA have met the highest standards of the dude ranch industry. We adhere to the six principles of dude ranching: Horses, Hats, Hospitality, Heritage, Honesty, and Heart. 

  • Horses are central to any dude ranch, with particular attention to both horse and rider.
  • Hats symbolize the Western experience
  • Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do, including staff, food, accommodations, and activities.
  • Heritage of dude ranching is continued today, encouraging week-long stays and connection between guests
  • Honesty is all about operating our business with integrity
  • Heart for developing friendships and one-of-a-kind experiences for guests
