By Mary Ann O'Brien

If you’re not a Nintendo Wii or a MacBook, you may not be seeing enough of your kids. And unless there’s a power outage, your kids may not be seeing enough of the outside. What do we expect? We do live in the age of technology. But sometimes it’s nice to get back to the basics, to a time when you didn’t need a Facebook account to get face time with your kids, and when having fun meant getting good and dirty.
Sounds like it’s time to round up your partner and the young’uns, and head to. Rancho de los Caballeros for a Grade A rip snortin’ good time! Sprawled on 20,000 acres, this historic Arizona guest ranch is located just north of Phoenix in the quiet little cow town of Wickensburg.
Dating back half a century, this popular family destination boasts a proud tradition of Western hospitality that makes guests of the ranch feel right at home Rancho de los Caballeros can best be described as “dude ranch lite.” It has all the true grit of a working ranch, but with a softer side of upscale accommodations and amenities. That’s why it’s so popular with families. For the kids, it’s thrilling and fun, but safe. For the adults, it’s action-packed, but still provides plenty of opportunities for pampering, indulgence, and relaxing.
When you stay at Rancho de los Caballeros, earning street cred depends on your willingness to saddle up and ride.
