14 travel adventures for families

The guest ranch has plenty of activities for families, such as swimming in the 60-foot-long pool, exploring local ghost towns and hiking and horseback riding in the Sonoran Desert. The ranch also provides scheduled activities for kids while their parents golf or relax at the spa. Kids can learn to ride horses or play tennis, go on scavenger hunts or have fun with tie-dye. They might even take a guided hike around the ranch to look for bunnies, lizards and tarantulas. Info: http://www.ranchodeloscaballeros.com  (Christopher Reynolds / Los Angeles Times)
