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.
