While it was over 90 degrees, we had a nice breeze, keeping us cool on our journey through the Tonto Forest. Luis, our guide, was very informative about the native plants and creatures that inhabit this land. The horses stayed on trail in a single file and trotted at a very slow, leisurely pace.They keep the groups small at no... More

I took a two hour ride. I'm a more experienced rider, my wife less so, but we both enjoyed ourselves. Instead of the usual trudging pace on disprited horses, our group kept up a sprightly walk on spirted, well-trained and well-kept horses. My horse responded well to both spoken and phyical commands. The areas around the outfitters is getting built... More

The guide Virginia was nice , social and knowledgable. She was helpful with explanations about the horse, riding and pointing out things of interest... More

I have been on the 2-hour ride 3 times since this past January and have found it equally relaxing each time. Joey was my wonderful guide for the first two and Lewis for the third. I had never ridden before January and that fact shouldn't keep you from giving it a try. Calm, well-mannered horse will see you safely along... More

First time writing a tripadvisor review but wanted to share our great feedback! We are a husband and wife from CT ....in our 50's....with no experience on horses. My closest access to one of these beauties is watching an old Clint Eastwood flick. But what a great time we enjoyed....and we can be a little picky....truth be told. We had... More

You will learn a lot about the local area and the desert and all it holds. The trails are eaisly identified so no chance... More

Very knowledgable about the about the surrounding desert and very interactive with our family. Being all first time riders I was concerned about everyone being up on Horses,... More

I was joined by my 11 year old daughter and her friend on this wonderful two hour adventure. We are all fairly inexperienced riders and our guide was patient yet very firm which was perfect. After all, these are true wranglers and wimpy is simply not tolerated! He guided us through unspoiled desert, providing us with its history, and pointing... More

One of the most beautiful, untouched areas to view the desert and the mountain vistas. The spring time is a great time to see the cactus and wild flowers in bloom. The wranglers are great; knowledgeable of the surrounding desert, interactive with the riders. You can see that the horses are well taken care of. There is a horse for... More

With roundtrip transportation (to and from the hotel) and an amazing ride through the desert-this excursion made my work trip! Terrific guide, gentle horse, wonderful trip!
