Campfires are a Must at a Dude Ranch!

Where there’s a fire going, people tend to congregate. Is it because fire used to signify safety, warmth and sustenance to our ancestors? Or is it simply because it’s a tool that allows us to comfortably spend time outside when the temperature dips? Whatever the reason it’s clear that there’s not much not to like about a campfire. It’s backcountry television!

It’s easy to gather around and sit for hours mesmerized by the dancing flames. Add in anything else: good company, s’mores, drinks, music, or all of the above and you’re so content it’s hard to tear yourself away.

We love campfires so much we try to spend as much time around one as possible so we even cook breakfast over it from time to time. There’s something about the smell of fresh morning air, bacon and woodsmoke mingling together that makes you glad to be alive.
