Treacherous terrain, seemingly no concern for horses or safety of riders.

Janet_D, June 2023

Scenery nice, but guides were reckless. Wet, heavily rocky trails. Horses urged to run over very rough terrain. Horses slipped frequently. At river, horses urged to run down muddy slope into very rocky river. Several horses slipped and nearly fell. My husband's saddle was not cinched and came loose! For me, the ride was not pleasant. Seemed like guides were driving the horses. Horses had no room to maneuver. My legs frequently pinned between horses. Ended up with bruises on legs from the crush. Wouldn't recommend, especially NOT for kids.
