This is our 2nd ride with Snow Canyon Trail Rides. This time we enjoyed exchanging stories with our guide, Matthew on our 4 hour ride to the north rim where we dismounted and had a nice lunch while the horses rested. The horses are well-mannered, pleasant and easy to ride. Having had my own horses makes it more of a... More

Ben had some great horses for us to ride and even adjusted the time of the ride so that we could do it when we had time, since no one else had scheduled for that day. Ben knew a lot about history, plants and the geology of the area. It is a great way to see Snow Canyon State Park.

We only hiked the trails in the park. I would love to do a horse ride next visit. There are so many great hikes from beginner to more difficult. Most trails do not allow dogs even on leashes. A photographer would love it. So many gorgeous areas. Not a big place but well worth a stop.

We took our 8 and 10 year old girls on a one hour ride through the beautiful Snow Canyon and it was just an amazing time! Matthew, our guide, was easy going, informative and put our girls at ease - turning them into real "riders" in no time! The trail was gorgeous, the horses well cared for and mannered. I... More

I spoke with Patty on the phone to plan our half day ride. She had some great suggestions and had everything well planned when we arrived. Our wrangler, Matthew, was super friendly and the horses were nicely tempered. We talked about the plants, animals and history of the Snow Canyon area. Matthew knew it all. The ride was so scenic...

When I called and made my horseback riding appointment I was told I had to give my card number to hold the reservation. I was also told that I would receive directions to the park via text message. The day of the appointment came and I still hadn't received the directions so I tried several times to call for directions.... More

It is sad that when someone doesn't show up for their reserved ride (even though they tell you they are coming to the ride when they are 10 minutes late), that they must make up these false allegations and untruths to justify their bad behavior. More

Go early before it gets too hot (and before the masses get out of bed and into your photos!!). Only 15 mins from St George.
