Nothing says male bonding like some bad-boy time on the beach
Play Cowboy in Lajitas
Nestled between Big Bend National Park to the west and the Rio Grande to the south, the rugged landscape of small-town Lajitas, Texas can inspire even the slickest city slicker to don a ten-gallon hat, pack a pistol, and settle in for a heated game of poker with his pals. The best place to coral your inner cowboy is at the upscale Lajitas Resort’s Badlands Hotel, which recreates a Wild West frontier town complete with tumbling tumbleweeds and a wooden boardwalk, albeit with modern comforts and amenities. Resort guests can easily arrange outings into the great outdoors from hunting to hiking to horseback riding.
Book It: The 25,000-acre Lajitas Resort offers a 2-night "So You Wanna Be a Cowboy" package from $390/night. Learn how to shoot the guns that won the West at Greasewood Flats, Lajitas’ cowboy action shooting range, and enjoy a trail ride or 'cutting horse' instruction with one of the Lajitas’ equestrian staff. Daily breakfast and deluxe lodging for two are also included.
