In Kansas, you can take a very different type of vacation at a guest or working ranch. Get away from the city life and find out what its like to be a real cowboy.
Kansas has long been the scene of cattle drives and ranches. In the 1800s, cowboys drove cattle to towns that grew up along the railroad. The railroad took the cattle to market. Cattle towns in Kansas are Abilene, Caldwell, Dodge City, Ellsworth, Newton and Wichita. Each city has its own history that evolves around cattle, railroads and cowboys. Today, you can participate in an exciting Cattle drive to experience what its is like to be a cowboy. Follow the famous Chisholm trail as you drive cattle north to Ellsworth. Eat a chuckwagon dinner as you relax after a day on the range. JL Ranch offers hands on participation in cattle drives and round-ups. You will have to make reservations to participate. There are several other ranches in Kansas that have cattle drives too.
