Great experience. Our tourguid Ranger (nickname) was awesome. Had a lot of knowledge about the valley. The horses were great. You feel absolutely free over there. 5 stars by far.

Safety is not a priority. They are only interested in getting you to sign the waiver No practice before beginning the tour. Our guide was young and a bit of a show off. He fell from his horse a number of times during the tour. About three quarters of the way through, the horse I was on reared up & threw me off causing injury to my lower back.

Ranger and Logan were great guides. They shared stories about their heritage and their desire to teach others about it. They were both great guides and very patient with us novice cowboys! The horses were gentle. We enjoyed seeing some of the monuments very close. Would recommend to all!
