Fun Trail ride - Really enjoyed the 90 minute horse ride. Well behaved horses, beautiful scenery and a bit of wildlife that added a little extra interest along with beautiful flowers blooming out of cacti. Next time I’m bringing a bandanna for a couple dusty areas. Especially if riding towards the end of the line.

Beautiful cool morning... - Beautiful cool morning ride in the desert. Our guide Evie was wonderful. We had a small group with 5 people. Good horses and a beautiful ranch site. We walked around after the ride to look at the historic buildings.

Wonderful family excursion - My husband and I booked this excursion in October 2025. We enjoyed It so much we knew we needed to take our daughter and grandson when they visited. We all loved it! Of course my 13 yo grandson was nervous at the very beginning but was comfortable after 5 minutes on the trail.

Enjoyable ride. - The experience was enjoyable. The guide was super polite and helpful. The area where we rode was interesting. Was it the very best scenery I have seen in the Tucson area? No. But it was enjoyable.
