Top 10 Wild West Ranches in the U.S.

One hundred years ago, ranch life was serious business, with lots of cowpokes and chuck wagons and little dogies getting along. But today, ranches defy stereotype, much to our delight. While some still stick close to their historical roots, others have branched out, including spa treatments and gourmet dining with hoedowns and cattle drives. Whether classic or creative, ranches are a staple of American lodging, and we've compiled a selection of the finest in the wild, wild West. Happy trails.
