My friend and I went on a 2 hour trail ride this past week and had a great time! Nicole was our guide, and I don't think I've ever met someone so genuinely pleasant and sweet. She was so knowledgeable, filled with cool facts about the area, personable and showed genuine interest in everyone in our group, and very patient... More

My friend and I signed up for a trail ride. This was the first time she was on a horse and was a little skittish. We went early in the morning before the scorching sun. Ed met us at the stable and hooked us up with Stomp and Dolly. We laughed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery for an hour, then... More

My wife and I visited Cave Creek Outfitters and took a 2 hour ride. We took the morning 9 am and enjoyed it very much. The horses were well behaved and there were 4 on our group plus the guide Ed. We took a trail up into the hills and right in the middle of some awesome Sagauro cactus. It... More

We used Cave Creek outfitters for a corporate dinner/cookout and party option on a Friday night. The people staffing the event were very nice and thorough - they thought of everything. They set up some quick, silly games for us to start with (trying to pick up 5 pieces of penne pasta with a piece of dry spaghetti between your... More

My family took advantage of a two hour horse back ride through the Sonoran desert with the guide from Cave Creek - actually we returned from a visit we had 4 years ago to do it again. It was most enjoyable our guide was most informative. We will go back again I am sure. More

Not only were the views amazing, but this stable has REALLY great/well behaved horses. I've ridden a horse about 4 times before and each time I've freaked out and never wanted to do it again (obviously I forget my fear and go again) . This time I felt so relaxed I couldnt believe it! The tour guide was awesome, and... More

I had a wonderful time on a 2-hour trail ride with Cave Creek Outfitters. Unlike many other resort area "trail rides" where you get to ride a bored horse in a circle, this was an actual trail ride through the desert. The horses were happy, well-behaved, and clearly had not been ridden in a circle all day. One bit of... More

So nice to get out into the dessert. Cave Creek Outfitters is first class. The horses are obviously well taken care of and our guide was friendly, patient and knew a great deal about the desert and it's plants and animals. My son and I learned a lot. We are not riders, so our guide took her time and was... More

From start to finish, our family of four had a wonderfule experience with Cave Creek Outfitters. We opted for a 90 minute ride so we could get some wonderful views of the Valley of the Sun and the ride and our guide didn't disappoint. Everyone on staff seemed to love what they did and it showed.
