Tanque Verde Ranch has been in operation since 1868, and it has grown to become North America's largest dude ranch resort. You can saddle up for horseback riding lessons or trail rides, stretch your legs on a guided hike through the adjacent national forests, cool off in the indoor or outdoor pool, pamper yourself at the resort's spa, or spin through the desert on a mountain bike. Your room rate includes three meals a day, activities and nighttime entertainment; you can choose from five different categories of rooms, which sleep between two and eight people. The resort was the set of the Nickelodeon TV series "Hey Dude" in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
