A Covered Wagon Under A Cover Of Stars

Most of us have slipped away for some much-needed decompressing in a hotel or resort with fancy thread counts, sleek furniture, and tv to mindlessly flip through the channels. Yet how many of us have ever really put away our phones and disconnected from the busy world at large? It is not easy to do, and thus it requires some intentional planning. A traveler telling themselves they will unwind from the pings coming from their phone will have a harder time doing so in a modern hotel. To really unplug--to really allow oneself some time for soul searching--requires a unique experience. And what could be more offbeat in our modern times than a covered wagon?

Located at Sandy Valley Ranch, which is only 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas, the ranch offers a wide array of activities for all ages. Guests can go horseback riding on trails and enjoy the stunning desert beauty of the area. Or, for the more adventurous, experience the thrill of a cattle drive. Families will especially enjoy the activity of being a cowboy for a day, and, like any good ranch, they can attend a lively rodeo. And guests can end their day with a drink (or two) at the ranch's saloon.

• Just outside the wagon are tables and chairs, as well as a large firepit

As a working ranch, there are three friendly working livestock guard dogs on site that may pay you a visit as you unwind around the firepit. Guests can spend time at the ranch's goat pen, horse corrals, and saloon. The ranch offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an additional cost, and, for those interested, be sure to make a reservation as it is required. The beauty of the ranch is due, in part, to its remote location, so guests should keep in mind that the nearest gas station is 21 miles away.

With just the right amount of modern amenities and historic charm, an evening in a covered wagon allows guests to feel transported back in time when life was quieter, and sleeping under a sky filled with stars was all one really ever needed.
