In Short
This authentic dude ranch impresses kids with real cowboys and more than 100 horses. Miles of trails wind through the pristine Sonoran desert landscape, horseplay for all levels and Western-style cookouts are the main attractions. Tanque Verde combines genuine hacienda-style ranch and rustic casitas decorated in with traditional Western decor to create an ideal location for Western riding opportunities. It also has three swimming pools, a whirlpool spa, five tennis courts and fine Western dining.
