What is a Dude Ranch?
Years ago a “dude” was a person that lived typically in an urban area.
Countryside dwellers used to refer to dudes as city slickers.
A ranch that gives city slickers a unique experience away from the hectic city life where they can experience the great outdoors was called a Dude Ranch.
Today The Pine Ridge Dude Ranch prides itself in much more than that.
They want to give everyone (groups and families) a fun one-of-a-kind vacation getaway that they have never experienced before,
Today the word dude is slang for American people to address each other similar to the words “guy” and “bro”.
