I scheduled a trip with a group of 17 girls to Scottsdale, AZ for my sister's bachelorette party and this place was phenomenal. This was literally every girl's highlight of the weekend. All 17 of us went horseback riding and then met at the Saloon...More

Great experience

This place was amazing. Our tour guide Rusty was laid back and very informative as we hit the trails. The horses are great for even the most inexperienced riders. We were never rushed and enjoyed the western town immensely. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Sonali B

What should we do when we are riding horses and see rattlesnakes on the trail? Also do we get to choose which horses we will be riding or do Canyon Creek Ranch staff choose the horses for us to ride? Can we see cactus plants when riding on the trail? Is there a sunset horse riding trek that we can ride and enjoy cactus plants at sunset?

August 29, 2018|

Answer

Hi Sonali, if we come across snakes, we'll take some great photos. We line up horses to riders, and yes you'll be riding close to all the cacti. The sunset rides are Amazing!
