Amazing Experience
Ashley_K, Mar 2023
The wranglers were amazing in making sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. My saddle kept sliding to one side and they kept checking on me to make sure it was right. The photo op at the top of the ridge was perfect!
Great way to see Red Rock Canyon
Anita_Z, Mar 2023
Great way to visit Red Rock Canyon. Do check the weather beforehand, in our case it was cloudy and you can really feel the wind up on the mountains. A pair of gloves is a must if you are riding on a cold day. Tour was well organised with pick ups from various hotels. Great guides and pace is walk only so suitable for novices.
Awesome Adventure
Neva_F, Mar 2023
The view was great. My Mule Millie was awesome. It was all an awesome day. The Wranglers were very good, instructions were spot on, very helpful in keeping us all safe and making sure we had fun.
My two daughters enjoyed...
Lily_A, Mar 2023
My two daughters enjoyed the horseback riding. However I was upset to find out that the driver of the shuttle that picked them up said shame on them for staying at the Trump Hotel. Very unprofessional. Politics should not be involved in this.
Unfriendly guides and poor preparation
Lauren_G, Mar 2023
There is a lot of opt for improvement with this excursion. I think that the tour could do better at anticipating the needs of their customers. For example, the majority of the people who were on my tour were not dressed adequately. The ranchers were all dressed in multiple layers, gloves, etc so they obviously knew that the ride would be very cold. Alerting people ahead of time that they should expect the ride to be cold and extremely windy would have given us the opportunity to dress more appropriately (and probably enjoy the ride more). Similarly, letting people know that they will not be permitted to have Fanny packs or backpacks would be helpful so we can plan to bring fewer items. The biggest problem with the tour though was the guides. We had three. I would say that one was friendly, another one kind of went back and forth between being friendly and grumpy, and the third one just acted like she had complete disdain for the customers and was unpleasant the entire time. None of the three were particularly informative. The only information you are given on tour is what you absolutely need to know to ride the mules. That’s it. There are no fun facts. There is no information given about the canyon or the wilderness around you. You basically ride in silence for two hours with only the occasional reminder to sit a certain way. And when you arrive, the ranchers just kind of ignore you for awhile and you just wander aimlessly until they yell at you to finally go to your spot. The two stars are for the pretty scenery and nice mules.
Do this !
Jill_H, Mar 2023
This is a great trip! It was very relaxing to get away from The Strip and be out in nature. They provide saddle bags to put your stuff in while riding. Everyone was very nice and they are very organized about picking up on time and getting everyone assigned to a horse & up and going. The area is very beautiful. It was colder than Vegas so bundle up. We brought warm hat & gloves and were very comfortable. They stop during the trip to take photos of everyone which was nice since it was a little hard to take photos while riding. I would definitely do this trip again.
Great moment! What a nice landscape and chill horses!
Barbara_B, Mar 2023
Great moment! What a nice landscape and chill horses! Everything is made very simple and the crew is being very professionnal.
Great!
Evelyn_S, Feb 2023
We had a great time. It was a great way to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy mingling with the horses.
What views!!!
Maja_B, Feb 2023
This was a wonderful experience for both my son (10 years old) and I. It was exactly what we had hoped for, a break from the bustle of the Vegas strip. It was a relief to breath in the fresh air and soak up the amazing scenery (my son said it looked so perfect, almost like it was green screened!). The entire staff were very friendly and helpful with whatever we needed. I'd definitely recommend this half day excursion in a heartbeat!
Wonderful horseback riding tour!!

Debbie_D, Jan 2023
It was a good ride up thru the canyons/ mountains would definitely recommend for horse riders to try it guides are very nice also. Very informative
Would recommend!
Ginny_M, Jan 2023
The views were incredible, and even though it was colder than expected, my entire family enjoyed our trip! BUT, beware if you're afraid of heights, the switch backs up to the top of the trail that runs along the edge of the canyon can be intimidating!
It is a must do in Vegas....
Anna_H, Jan 2023
