No Sunset horseback ride - Sadie & Parker were very friendly and professional. We all enjoyed the ride though we would have liked to have seen more of the sunset.After all it was a sunset ride… .

1-hr horseback ride - Check-in process for this adventure was very easy and front desk personnel were very nice. Once checked in, you then drive a short distance to the stable where the guides select your horse and go over basic horsemanship. Enjoyed the 1-hr horseback adventure. Guides Trev and Karlie were extremely helpful and friendly. They made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the ride and spent time getting to know each individual along the route. Thank you both for an enjoyable time. There is a short stop along the trail to get off your horse and walk into a slot canyon. Could not go very far on foot due to a large boulder blocking the path. Wish the ride were longer to enjoy the scenery and the peacefulness of this area.
