A Dude Ranch Vacation At California’s Marble Mountain Ranch
To our valued return guests and perspective new guests:
With the inflationary pressures of the 2024 year, we hope to enable those with a limited budget to book short stays of 3 nights or 4 nights booked in any week within thirty days of arrival and as space is available. This is a standby booking that would allow a month to plan your itineraries.
Please review our all inclusive short stay pricing for your vacation planning. We hope to see you here!
Dude Ranch Vacations at Marble Mountain Ranch have an American cowboy’s trail riding theme. We combine our horseback trail riding vacations with thrilling guest ranch activities such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, sporting clays and shooting sports, ATV rides, paint ball, Fall fly fishing, and traditional American ranch events.
Our signature all inclusive “saddle and paddle” or “raft and ride” vacation joins our superb dining experience and our youth buckaroo program to create the best and most complete family dude ranch vacation. Marble Mountain dude ranch vacations meet the diverse interests and needs of your entire family or group. Our horseback trail riding and equestrian programs are spectacular, but our defining feature is our ability to keep whole families engaged with our variety of outdoor Western adventures. No other ranch can duplicate our all inclusive experience with breathtaking mountain trail riding, white water rafting, and Fall season steelhead fly fishing! Come join the adventure!
Regarding all of the recent California wildfires in vicinity of Marble Mountain Ranch, none of the fires have impacted any of the ranch surrounding terrain including trails and resources. We are in full functionality. For an aerial view of the terrain and trails we suggest you view the recent video produced by Adam Cole showing the “Beach Trail Ride” at the ranch.

Marble Mountain Ranch has recently converted our off grid diesel power plant to a solar facility with diesel back-up. The operations of the solar plant store energy in our battery bank that is sufficient for providing our regular infrastructure needs with adequate power during good weather periods. However, inbound guests with EVs have been shown to draw down our battery bank to the point that the diesel power plant must be started up to run the ranch and to recharge the battery bank. Accordingly, we ask that you arrive in regular gas powered vehicles, or other hybrids that will not require us to convert the ranch power plant back to diesel power generation during your stay. There are charging stations in Hoopa (45 minutes South) and in Yreka (2 hours North).>

Even our renowned cuisine is homemade daily by members of our ranch family!
