    Kevin was great, took tons of pictures for us and air dropped them to us at the end of the ride. The horses were awesome and very friendly. The views were fantastic and there were parts that were scary narrow and steep both up and down. Would do again, but in a shorter ride b/c we are all sore. 1 stop about halfway though the ride. However, this posting is misleading, this is a 3rd party booking so i doesnt have all the info. This is NOT beginner friendly, NOT appropriate for all ages (OG posting says 10+). There is no giving up in the middle of the ride, you have to complete the whole ride as rescue services are by these horses only! No backpacks or hydration/camelback packs, water bottles only. You will 1000% need sunscreen, long sleeves, and a hat. Arrive 30mins early to do all your stuff and get sorted. Would recomend looking at the posting from the actual place. Its called "Thunder Mountain Ride".

    Views are spectacular, hard to describe the vast beauty!

    Excellent experience. Our cowgirl was Anita and she was knowledgeable and carefully took us around Thunder mountain. WOW was that awesome. 5 guests in our group and all experienced except one who had never been on a horse. A horse named Wallin was assigned to her and between the great horse and Anita the whole experience was great. Everyone agreed that we would do it again.

    Best ever

    By far, the most beautiful horse back riding I’ve ever done! This Thunder Mountain ride provides everything - breathtaking heights and fabulous views! Our guide, Jake, was a treasure. He shared some great stories of a lifetime of loving the great outdoors, especially with his beloved mules. The horses we rode were rock solid. This 4 hour experience is a must for riders!

    Beautiful ride

    The scenery was spectacular, and our guide was down to earth, and full of good jokes. The horses were well maintained and lovely to ride.
