For this ride, we will meet in Kanab for introductions, then get on our way to the stables! The drive to the stables is about 20 minutes through beautiful and historic Johnson Canyon, where you will see many idyllic country homes and fields with grazing animals and sandstone cliffs. At the corral, we will saddle up and conduct a brief riding lesson, before departing into the beautiful backcountry of Southern Utah on horseback. As you wind through the hills, brush, and trees, your experienced wrangler will share information about the local demographic and geographic history. You will get to ride along the sandstone cliffs as you take in the beautiful views of the mountains and canyons surrounding Kanab. As the ride comes to an end, we will make the drive back to the meeting point before parting ways.

In fall and winter months, be prepared for cold weather! Make sure you bring hats, gloves, coats, etc. to keep you warm while you enjoy the tour. Please note that the 2 hour timing includes drive time to and from the stables. You will spend about 1.5 hours on the horse.

Cols but fun horseback ride! - Margaret was so amazing! She was able to teach our whole family and was so sweet and funny. We loved our experience. We are on a 9 month trip around the US to see all the states and national parks, and this is one of the top 3 experiences we've had on our journey so far.

Best ride we have ever been on!! - Blake was our guide, we could not ask for a better guide!! He was well versed and had a lot of history to share. He had well trained horses and awesome scenic trails that took you up into the terrain. The views were incredible and the pictures on the site didn’t do it justice.

Great horseback riding experience! - Our trail ride yesterday was top notch. Blake was great with the horses, knowledgeable, and very personable with us. We zig zagged up to the top of a ridge looking out over a beautifully valley in Johnson Canyon! Good weather was on our side as well making it a fantastic southwest morning.
