Excerpt from the introduction: “One of the great adventures in life is visiting a guest ranch, whether the ranch is close to home or far away. There is just something “American” about saddling up for a day’s ride, hiking in majestic mountains, angling grass-lined, crystal clear streams, or just cozying up in front of a roaring fire in the lodge.

This book brings you some of our nation’s top Western Guest Ranches and Lodges, highlighting the personification of what the great escape should be. Use the book to find the destination that is perfect for your getaway, or use it to re-create the fabulous feasts you remember savoring during your last visit.”
