Do your best cowboy or cowgirl impression as you mount your horse and ride into the Red Rock Canyon. The rust-colored walls and deep gorges are an impressive sight—especially during sunset.
Afterwards, enjoy an authentic Western barbecue next to a campfire. Steak, chicken, fish, or vegetarian options are available, plus sides of salad, cowboy potatoes, and baked beans. Toast to the night with cowboy s’mores.
After several hours out in nature, return to Las Vegas with a full belly.

What a way to get your "Cowboy" on! Loved the Sunset ride with BBQ dinner. My wife and I had an amazingly good time. Yes, it was a trail ride, but it did require some trust in your horse. We cut through some of the most interesting terrain. The trail was especially well thought out and well designed. There were inclines, drops, and it was a pretty rocky path. The horses new the way. We felt very secure and had excellent guides, with helmets available for use. The scenery was gorgeous. We chose the salmon dinner, which was spot on, given a 5 STAR review! We didn't feel at all short changed by the ride or our meal, although this is a pricier tour. It was THE BEST TRAIL RIDING EXPERIENCE, we've ever had. We've been on several over the years, even in Alaska. We can hardly wait to return, and try both the Breakfast ride and the Dinner ride, again. We highly recommend this tour. It was the best time we had while visiting Las Vegas, outside of the Eagles concert, at the Sphere. If you ever wanted to experience the wild west on horseback, this ride is for you. Very impressive setup. Very involved and caring staff. This is a great adventure.

The most amazing experience from the horses to the riding to the food!! Such a beautiful location, we will be back for sure! Jennifer’s food was superb! Thanks all for an unforgettable experience

This is an amazing experience I’d highly recommend to anyone travelling to vegas. I can’t speak highly enough about the staff they are very friendly, informative and helpful.
I’ve done both the morning and evening trail rides and suggest the sunset, amazing views and lighting and a superb meal at the end of it.
Very beginner friendly. The horses are very good and doing the work for you and are relaxed. You don’t need to have ridden before.
Don’t miss out on this experience, it’s worth every penny. I’ll definitely be returning.
Zara_V, Jul 2026
Such a great experience I will be back and I’ll bring my friends the chef was great I got the steak dinner it was delicious

A great trip for something a little different
A short ride away from the strip, the hot and dusty desert awaits, a walking pace ride, long trousers will help prevent chaffing, but not a necessity. No riding experience necessary the wranglers will guide you through it all.
You’ll be given a waiver to read and sign on the bus on the way, helmets are optional, you chose on the waiver.
The coral where you mount and dismount your horse has a lot of horse poop and due to the heat a very pungent smell, so didn’t wear your best trainers.
Overall and amazing experience, the foot was plentiful and tasted amazing, cold soft drinks and water await you at the ranch.
If you get the chance it’s definitely worth a visit

Fantastic night. Very laid back and not rushed. Our ride was about an hour and a half. Leisurely pace as you travel through the canyon. After, our meal ( we chose steak) was one of the most delicious pieces of meat we have ever had. And the steak was enormous. Afterwards we cooked s’mores by a fire pit and I was surprised how much fun it was. All of the employees were so friendly. You could stay as long as you wanted… It was up to you to tell your bus driver when you were done and ready to go home. I would highly recommend this experience.

Wow - the most incredible experience!!
Everything about it was amazing from start to finish - the cowgirls were lovely, the horses and mules so calm and friendly, the ride had the most beautiful scenery ever and to top it off, a lovely bbq dinner followed by marshmallows around the fire pit! I rode Elvis and my partner (who is a complete beginner) rode Millie and they were both so sweet and really looked after us! 10/10 experience, would thoroughly recommend! Thank you again ☺️☺️

The horseback riding experience was my family’s favorite experience on spring break. The scenery was beautiful and we went over a little bit of difficult terrain. All of the horses were highly competent. The two guides that accompanied us were very professional and had great personalities. My family really enjoyed the time around the campfire, making s’mores afterward and talking to one of the guides as well as other guests..
Mike_M, Jun 2026
Took the tour with my grown son and we loved it. The horses were friendly and easy to ride. The guides were knowledgeable and personable. The chef was friendly and very good. Well worth time and money.
Patricia_T, Jun 2026
Our experience with cowboy trails and JC creators catering was absolutely outstanding from start to finish! We thoroughly enjoyed our scenic, horseback trail ride, followed by a delicious dinner around the campfire. Our wranglers Zane and Hayley were incredibly informative, kind patient and courteous making everyone feel comfortable throughout the ride our four legged partners, dusty and happy, we’re wonderful horses that let us through the peaceful and breathtaking red rock Canyon scenery. The views were spectacular and made for a truly memorable experience! If you’re looking for a unique adventure with beautiful scenery, friendly guides and amazing food, I highly recommend cowboy trails and JC creators!

We had a wonderful experience overall, and I especially want to recognize our shuttle driver, Roy, for making the evening run so smoothly. He was punctual, extremely organized, and did a great job explaining the waiver process, the schedule, and the tour expectations before we started. Since we were the only group that utilized the shuttle that day, he went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of and comfortable throughout the experience. His attention to detail and professionalism really stood out.
The chef was also fantastic. She greeted us with a big smile, was very welcoming, and confirmed our meal selections to make sure everything was correct. The food came out beautifully presented and was delicious — a great addition to the tour experience.
The horseback riding trail itself was absolutely beautiful. The ranch has an incredible view of the red rocks, and the trail was a comfortable ride with gentle ups and downs that allowed us to enjoy the scenery from many different angles. The landscape changed throughout the ride, making it feel like we were experiencing multiple views in one trail. The horses and mules were well suited for riders of different ages and experience levels, which made the ride approachable and enjoyable. A special highlight was the ranch dog, who added so much charm to the experience by accompanying the group the entire time.
The tour guides were helpful and attentive. They kept an eye on the group, made sure everyone’s needs were met, waited for slower riders when needed, and even took some really cute photos for participants to remember the day. My only small suggestion would be for the guides to bring a bit more enthusiasm and excitement into the experience. At times, it felt like they were having an off day or weren’t fully engaged with the group. I’m used to tour guides creating an energetic and fun atmosphere, and that extra excitement would have made an already great experience even better. This was not a deal breaker, but it did slightly take away from the overall joy of the ride.
Overall, this is a great package for anyone looking for a unique experience just about a 30-minute drive from Las Vegas. You get beautiful red rock views, a relaxing horseback ride, great food, and a well-organized experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We had a great experience, Everything was nice and organized. The food was great and staff was friendly.
Andrew_A, Jun 2026
Had an absolutely amazing time doing this with Trinity leading us on the way with Whitney following offering help! Could have stayed for hours more and the food by Amber was delicious aswell as fantastic trained horses. After dinner activities were great too with learning you lasso a bull. Tyke and Dusty were also brilliant. Would recommend this to everyone! Best thing we did the entire week in vegas!!
andrew_c, Jun 2026
This was a really great activity. Our wranglers (guides) Ella and Riley were fantastic, super knowledgeable and friendly.
Chef, Jennifer made a fantastic dinner: steak, beans, potatoes and homemade cookies. just wonderful.
And of course, the venue was fantastic red rocks at sunset!
Lauri_R, Jun 2026
You don’t need to worry about the horses because they are tame and know what to do. The views that you will see are outstanding. Rilee (one of the guides) is precious and very knowledgeable having grown up there. The steak dinner and bonfire afterwards were great too. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We went in the evening and a t-shirt and blue jeans worked perfectly for me. They will give you a saddle bag for you to use for your essentials. I highly recommend this venture.
Katlynd_G, Jun 2026
Horseback riding was such an amazing and memorable experience for me. The breathtaking views at sunset and the trail itself is very scenic w great picture taking moments the entire time! I was on Traveler couldn't of asked for a better horse. Riley was a wonderful tour guide she was in the back with the group. The dinner was delicious. I did get the steak and Jennifer seasoned it perfectly. The smores around the fire and lasso lessons were a wonderful way to end the night!
Chris_A, Jun 2026

Theresa_W, May 2026
It’s fun
Well organised
The team are really friendly
If you never ridden it doesn’t matter, all the horses are very calm
Toni_V, May 2026
This is a fabulous way to see the other side of Vegas, off the Strip and away from the “glitz & glamour” of the casinos. This is where the true beauty of the Las Vegas Valley lies.
I’m a local, born and raised Vegas girl. I took visiting family and friends on this sunset ride, some in our group were experienced riders, others novices. We all had a great time. The horses/mules were fantastic, sure-footed and beautiful animals. The guides were very capable and professional. The bbq dinner was excellent. Our group of 7 had steak, chicken and salmon, all huge portions, cooked to perfection. We lucked out with perfect weather (mid-ish May). Nothing of the entire experience disappointed. We all agreed that we would do this again. I highly recommend doing this cowboy sunset ride and bbq dinner. Whether you are a local or a tourist, it’s a great experience and a fun way to see our beautiful desert!
Nancy_C, May 2026
Lots of fun. Staff was very friendly and helpful. You really should wear long pants; the temp was mid 90s, but it was not uncomfortable. They give you small saddlebags for belongings, eg: small purse, phone, wallet. Dinner was delicious and lots of food. Definitely would recommend.
Stephanie_M, May 2026
This was a birthday present for my husband and I as we traveled to Las Vegas, but don’t gamble or drink. We decided to take this trip and couldn’t have been more pleased. They picked us up at a nearby hotel and dropped us back in the evening. The staff was professional. The horses were tame and knew what to do and the scenery was absolutely stunning. The dinner was amazing and overall, I just have to say I was very impressed. I would love to bring my family on this trip sometime.
gary_p, May 2026
This is an amazing experience and a great get away from Los Vega. There is no need for riding experience. It's just a fun time.
Heather_D, May 2026
This was a great experience! Beautiful scenery and the ride was slow enough to take it all in without being rushed. The horses are well trained and if you have never ridden the instructions were simple and easy to follow. All the wranglers were nice. After the ride the food was excellent! So glad we chose this tour and were able to get away from Vegas for a bit and into nature. We did the evening ride with dinner. If you want to see some beautiful scenery and desert plants from the back of a horse followed by a great dinner this is your trip!
Renee_D, May 2026
You should bring a long sleeve shirt or light jacket as it gets cool when the sun goes down. It is an enjoyable 1.5 hour ride and the dinner afterwards is delicious.
