Travel: Cowboys needed for ranch getaway, no experience necessary

HBO touched a nerve with the sci-fi series Westworld, but mid-20th-century TV was the mother lode, airing Wagon Train, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Bonanza and Rawhide starring a young Clint Eastwood.

I sought out Gene Kilgore for advice.

He’s an expert on dude ranches and an author who has visited hundreds of vacation spots, and covered thousands of kilometres of ground on horseback.

Here are Kilgore’s picks for two different experiences, a family-centric destination in western Canada and a top rustic-but-refined resort in the U.S.:

Best for kids: Three Bars Guest and Cattle Ranch sprawls amid meadows where elk and deer roam, at the foot of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains of B.C.

1, but sporty options include an indoor pool, hiking, mountain biking, rafting, fly-fishing and ATV rides.
