点评:My daughter, two friends, and I visited the Double R the first week of October. I made our reservations almost a year ago and have been looking forward to our visit ever since. Our stay was everything I hoped and more. The owners (Ron and Trina) welcomed us when we arrived mid-afternoon, we settled into our lovely casita and gathered at the corral for our first ride at sunset. We met Cowboy Frank and Rebecca (our wranglers) and were matched with horses based on our riding experience. My mount Amigo was sure footed and the ride through the mesquite, alligator juniper, and lush grass during the golden hour was beautiful. We returned from our ride for the first of many fantastic meals prepared by Deb (the best chef in Arizona). Our rides were tailored to our preferences; we were able to visit Tombstone for sightseeing, dinner at Big Nose Kate's and enjoyed a wine tasting at Callaghan Vineyards. The ride to Patagonia Lookout was spectacular. We spotted a great horned owl in the wild and heard him (or her) near the casita at night. Speaking of night, the dark sky at the ranch is incredible. Our rides were different routes each time and we were able to keep our favorite mount and/or try another of the ranches many great horses. After I rode Amigo for 2 days, I had Bright Eyes for two days (a beautiful Appaloosa mare), and Max (a Gypsy Vanner gelding) for the farewell ride our last morning. Meals were family style and we loved getting to know Ron, Trina, Frank, Deb, and Rebecca. Morning and evenings spent on the front porch around a fire pit and afternoons trying our hand (and arms) at roping under the personal coaching by Trina were extra fun. If you are looking for a wonderful location to visit with family and friends, the Double R is the place. we will definitely return as soon as possible.
翻译:10月的第一周,我和女儿以及两位朋友一同前往Double R牧场。我差不多一年前就预订了行程,从那时起就一直期待着这次旅行。我们的入住体验完全符合我的期望,甚至超出了预期。下午时分我们抵达后,牧场主罗恩和特里娜热情地接待了我们。我们住进了漂亮的小木屋,随后在日落时分相聚于围栏旁,开始了第一次骑马体验。我们还结识了牛仔向导弗兰克和丽贝卡,他们根据我们的骑术水平为我们挑选了合适的马匹。我的坐骑Amigo步伐稳健,在黄金时段里,我们穿越牧豆树林、刺松丛以及茂密的草地,沿途景色美不胜收。骑行结束后,我们享用了由Deb(亚利桑那州最出色的厨师)烹制的诸多美味大餐中的第一顿。所有的骑行路线都是根据我们的喜好来安排的:我们得以前往图姆斯通观光,在Big Nose Kate’s餐厅享用晚餐,还在Callaghan葡萄园体验了品酒。前往帕塔哥尼亚观景台的这段骑行更是令人叹为观止。我们在野外看到了一只大角鸮,晚上还能听到它在小屋附近鸣叫。说到夜晚,牧场上的夜空真是美得令人惊叹。每次骑马时我们都会选择不同的路线,既能继续骑自己最喜欢的马,也能尝试牧场上其他优秀的马匹。在连续两天骑了Amigo之后,我又骑了两天Bright Eyes(一匹漂亮的阿帕卢萨母马);最后一天早上告别时,我则骑了Max(一匹吉普赛万纳骟马)。餐食都是家庭式的,我们很高兴能结识Ron、Trina、Frank、Deb和Rebecca。早上和傍晚,我们会在前门廊的篝火旁欢聚;下午则在Trina的亲自指导下练习套绳,乐趣无穷。如果您正在寻找一个适合与家人、朋友一同度假的好去处,Double R绝对是理想之选。我们一定会尽快再来的!
