Ali was amazing

Faye_M, Sept 2023

What an amazing experience. The horses were obviously cared for, in good health and easy to ride. Ali couldn't have been a better guide. She was wonderful. 10/10 for Ali.

Beautiful trip through Red Canyon in small group

Bettina_I, Sept 2023

We were a small group of three women and the guide - this made the trip very enjoyable, private and we had a good laugh and talks. The scenery of course is amazing and the horses were very kind to us :)

Red canyon horseback ride

SCOTT_M, Sept 2023

My wife and I had a great ride on the trails. Alley was our cowgirl guide and was great. My wife has never rode a horse before and she was a nervous wreck. Alley made her very comfortable. The two hour ride perfect for us. The views were amazing. Thank you Alley

Great Horseback Ride

We had a wonderful horseback ride through the Red Canyon with Gaylene, not sure of the spelling :-), but she was amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s visiting in Bryce Canyon!

Beautiful ride and great for kids

A fun time for these city slickers!!

Cara_B, July 2023

The guides were so organized/efficient and explained everything clearly. The horses were cared for very well- not like others I’ve seen with ribs showing too much. The trail was spectacular and just the right length. Such a great way to see Red Rock!

Happy Trails

If a cowboy can be a salt of the earth, that's Mike. Wise, congenial, full of stories and observations about the trail and life. We were well cared for and had a great experience. Highly recommend taking a ride with Mike.

Great ride!

Kelly_H, June 2023

Sav and Ali were great to help us. Sav was a fun and attentive guide. The horses, I rode Apache, were well cared for and healthy stock. You can really tell they were well cared for. We had a great ride through the beautiful Red Canyon. Would do it again!

Nice ride through red canyon!

Took the 2 hour trail ride. Horses were perfectly matched to the riders experience and comfort level. Stress free ride. Horses know the way so enjoy the ride.

Made my trip complete!

Lynda_K, May 2023

An amazing ride! Roxy brought me to places I’d probably never reach on foot! My guide Ali was so sweet and we chatted the entire 2 hours! An absolutely awesome experience! I would do it again in a heartbeat!!

It was a wonderful experience from the moment we arrived until our return. .Savanna (our guide) was most pleasant and very knowledgeable. The scenery was gorgeous and the experience was well worth the money.
