In a society where both parents usually work and the grandparents often have not retired there is little opportunity for all generations to get together and enjoy themselves on a vacation that everyone can enjoy. Wyoming Dude Ranches offer that kind of holiday. Horseback riding is the central activity at most dude ranches worthy of the name and this is a sport which all ages can practice although not necessarily on the same level since some member of the family may want to ride faster and longer than others. Even if the levels of skill are very different the better riders can slow down sometimes and go on a leisurely ride with the less competent. The kids may be off playing with the young foals at cocktail time, but everyone can get together at mealtimes and discuss the day’s events.

Most dude ranches offer fly fishing as well and while everyone in the family may not be interested in that sport, especially if they are keen riders, it is something which often appeals to the men folk of the family. Fly fishing is a graceful, aesthetically appealing sport which requires extreme concentration and will completely relieve the mind of other worries. Perhaps that is why many doctors like the sport so much. It makes the mind forget all the problems of business life.
