Greenhorn Ranch is California’s premier dude ranch. Established in 1962, it hangs its hat on fostering families & new traditions.We breathe cowboy culture with all the fixins of California living. A long-time member of the Dude Ranch Association, we are driven to serve guests through Western hospitality, a warm welcome, real ranch living, & an unparalleled vacation experience.
Nestled in the “Lost Sierra,” we’re just an hour from Lake Tahoe and Reno, a few hours from Sacramento and the Bay Area but a world away culturally. We edge the Feather River and the Plumas National Forest.
Our team is the real deal. We are driven to serve guests through Western hospitality, a warm welcome, real ranch living, and unparalleled vacation experience. Catering to greenhorns from around the world, we offer families and vacationers a genuine horse ranch experience with guided trail rides, horseback riding lessons, expert wranglers, stocked fishing ponds, and more.
At Greenhorn Ranch, we believe in providing genuine hospitality with love. We fulfill our values by cultivating a true family culture amongst our staff. We all care about each other here and form lasting bonds with our Greenhorn Family. We spend much of our time together laughing around the campfire, enjoying meals together and exploring the adventures of Plumas County. While our ranch activities remain consistent, there’s never a dull moment at Greenhorn Ranch! Each week you’ll meet new people from across the country and all over the world, hear their stories and share yours.
