We went on the ride with our 3 kids, ages 16, 14, and 12. The guides did a great job putting us with horses that were perfect for us. They provided great conversation and information throughout the tour. The sites were beautiful, and the ride was just the right amount of adventure for our family!

For a beginner that I am, it was thrill ride. It’s scenic, however if you are last in the pack, you wouldn’t get to hear any history of the place.

Swin was our guide and he really made the trip. He really gave us a good history and knew about plant and animal life. You just can't find real cowboys like him very often

It was my first time horse back riding and the 2 girls that led us were great! They made sure that I was comfortable and knew all I had to, in order to make it safe. And they gave me the troublemaker horse which was awesome. Blackjack was great. Only wish I would have got a pic with him.

Very fun and informational. I do suggest wearing gloves though for the Sunset ride because it gets very cold! Overall amazing experience and fun photo spots
