From horseback riding in Highland to mountain tubing and more, Rocking Horse Ranch Resort is a family favorite memory-maker in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
It's like a vacation to the Wild West, but only a "Road Trip: Close to Home," where the entire family can get in on the fun.
The all-inclusive resort stretches as far as 500 bucolic acres in Highland with hundreds of activities for all ages.
The indoor waterpark and hot spring are open year-round, as are the archery range, nighttime entertainment, horseback riding and more.
Seasonal experiences include skiing through the winter and watersports through the summer.
Thrill-seekers often have their eyes on one of the longest mountain tubing runs in the northeast.
"At about 600 feet, you're going to spend about half a minute on that attraction, which is a long time for a ride," owner, Steven Turk said, "those tracks are made by a specific company in Italy for this purpose."
Another favorite resort staple is the unlimited horseback rides along serene trails.
The stables are home to about 120 horses. They teach guests how to care for them and how to ride.
"We'll offer pointed instructions on how to improve your seat, your skill and feel comfortable in the saddle," Turk said, "we want families to really enjoy the equine experience."
The endless adventures are bound to keep the family coming back to explore more.
