- The Mitten Buttes And Merrick Butte - The adventure begins with a picturesque ride to The Mittens, also known as the West and East Mitten Buttes. Enjoy breathtaking views and discover the geological importance of these iconic landmarks. From the south, the buttes resemble two enormous mittens with thumbs pointing inward.
- Merrick Butte - Named after the famous 19th-century prospector Richard Merrick, who was among the first to explore the area, this butte rises 5,000 feet above sea level. Frequently featured in classic Western films, it is a favored stop on horseback tours. Riding through the valley, guests will feel as if they are part of a classic Western movie, with Merrick Butte’s impressive silhouette enhancing the rugged beauty of the landscape.
- Sentinel Mesa - Known as the “watchtower” of the valley due to its commanding presence and strategic location, this mesa stands at 6,200 feet. It has served as a natural landmark for centuries, guiding both the Navajo people and early explorers. During horseback tours, riders can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding desert, and the mesa’s unique shape often conjures the image of a lone sentinel overseeing the land. It is a popular spot for photography, offering stunning vistas of the iconic red rock formations.
- Sacred Monument Tours - The tour concludes at the Sacred Monument Tours Horse Stable, where guests are welcome to ask their guide any remaining questions and capture last-minute photos with everyone, including the horses!

- Beautiful ride, breathtaking scenery!
We are glad to have ridden straight in the morning at 8:00 - so ES wasn't too hot.
Logan was just like the horses very relaxed and told us some interesting facts about the area. ES also had a few stops to take pictures!

To flee - Run away!
We had booked the walk two hours, relying on the good reviews found. I'm an experienced rider, my teen more or less beginner.
We had two guides. One in front, who didn't address us a single word of the whole ride except at the time of the photo break to know if it was okay. He did not turn around once to see if everyone followed (there were 4 of us and two of the horses stopped regularly to graze and then sometimes came back at a gallop).
The second guide spent 2 hours abusing his horse, turning it on itself by twisting its mouth, making repeated and violent start and stop, and whipping it with a stirrup to move it forward.
When I asked why he rode it like this he replied: it's an asshole, he doesn't move forward. He ended up tucking me in on one of his umpteenth laps. It made him laugh and barely a "sorry."
My son was terrified, because what he was doing with his horse gave an atmosphere of nervousness.
On arrival, the horses were not watered or desalinated. The guides did not land us a word and were waiting for their tips.
Lamentable from an equestrian, human and tourist point of view.
