Mike was a great tour guide. Before the ride, he explained what to do ( and not do) very clearly. That gave us the confidence to enjoy the horse ride without worrying about getting hurt. The ride was awesome! We felt like we really experienced the beauty and peacefulness of Capitol Reef National Park!

Mike and Tyra were an excellent duo for our horseback ride. Beautiful views!! Mike is very funny and makes you feel like you have been riding with him for years. Wish we had a longer time to ride.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Much obliged for the kind review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your ride with Mike and Tyra, they make a great team and they truly love what they do. Mike has a way of making folks feel like old friends in a hurry, and we’re happy the views and the time in the saddle hit the mark. Next time you’re back, come see us again and we’ll get you out for a longer ride so you can soak up even more of this red rock country.”
