Great Views, Great Ride - Took a break from hiking and tried a horseback riding experience in the mountains—and it was absolutely worth it! The guides were incredibly friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable, whether you were experienced or riding for the first time. If you’re spending time on the trails, I highly recommend setting aside a few hours for this adventure. It’s a relaxing and memorable way to explore the mountains!

Lovely Time! - Our horseback riding with East Zion Adventures was a highlight of our trip. The horses were calm and well trained. Our hour long tour took us up a hill then we got off the horses and walked through a slot canyon and then we rode the horses back down the hill. We signed up for the one hour tour and honestly wish it was a two hour tour! Our guide, Jacob, was personable and ensured our safety.

Trip Highlight - Just Book It!! - My partner was super nervous to do this activity and a bit afraid of horses but agreed to give it a go--it ended up being one of her favorite parts of the trip and she said she would do it again. I can't stress how amazing this was and the guides were AWESOME and sooo nice. This outing cost far less than our UTV tour and was far better. I can't recommend it enough. The views were gorgeous and the horses were the best! No prior riding experience required. If you're on the fence about this one, just book it. I promise it's worth it.

Had a wonderful ride on... - Had a wonderful ride on very sound horses, so great for inexperienced riders. Our guide, Tim, was wonderful, he was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to answer questions we had. We had a lovely walk through a slot canyon, where Tim was very helpful as we walked along wet and rocky areas - happy to go as far into the canyon as we were comfortable to go. Happy to recommend Tim and his team!

Worth every penny. - This was amazing. I booked this as a surprise for my husband and he loved it. The horses were incredible and so easy to ride. We’re absolute beginners and we had no problem at all. The views were great, the weather was very doable considering it was January. And our guides were super friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
