West. Usually, dude ranches are work-
ing ranches, and they "offer you the
ability to rub elbows with authentic
American cowboys," says Dave Wig-
gins, president of American
Wilderness Experience. AWE offers
ranches in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming.
Some ranches offer white water
rafting, overnight camping trips and
sightseeing. Many offer children's pro-
grams; there are ranches designed for
singles, families, and adults-only. A full
week is all-inclusive and typically
costs $125 a night per person, with

Columbia, in Western Canada, for
spectacular powder skiing. Selkirk
