What To Expect
Enjoy the real West! Ride for 90-minutes on horseback with a guide along trails like the ones cowboys rode a hundred years ago. Set your eyes on the dramatic and colorful walls of Red Rock Canyon, as well as deep gorges from high atop a desert mountain. Stop as the sun begins its daily descent, and you'll see the lights of the Las Vegas Valley far below. Ride starts about 2 hours before sunset and changes throughout the year. Then, it's back to camp beneath the moon and stars, guided by the light of the campfire, for a freshly prepared BBQ Dinner with your choice of a 16 oz. New York Strip Steak (cooked to your preference), grilled chicken, grilled salmon or vegetarian (Let us know in Special Requirements what you would like to eat). Your dinner will be served with crisp green salad with dressing, baked beans, cowboy potatoes , corn on the cob, beverages (soft drinks and water) and Cowboy S'mores for dessert! Cowboy S'mores are marshmallows sandwiched between chocolate chip cookies. They taste best when served at night around the campfire.

Great horse back ride and dinner experience.

5.00It was great we were picked up at our hotel. Drove less than 40-45 min from South Point hotel to the ranch in red canyon. We were greeted by a ranger and allowed to use the restroom before starting. They assign you horses. I never ridden a horse before, but they brief you on the basics of controlling the horse. The horse naturally follow one another in a straight line. I’m not going to lie, it was challenging at first because sometimes when all the horses get backed up and stop, the horse would want to stop and eat. Then you have to jerk the rein and give the horse a kick to keep him going. Sometimes the horse wouldn’t react, but after a while i got the hang of it. It was a nice 45-50 min ride through beautiful mountain scenery. The rangers will help you along the way if your horse slows down. They were great help with my 13 year old daughter and helping her control her horse. You will be definitely be guided and helped by the rangers. There is a stop half way the rangers will gather you and bring your group or family together to take a picture (without getting off the horse). Once you get back the food is ready for dinner. Once everyone is done and ready, we headed back to our hotels.

5.00Very well organized! Cowboys were super helpful and friendly. Riding throughout the landscape was incredible - breathtaking. Horses were well-mannered. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of Vegas city life is good for your soul. Dinner was delicious and the cowboy s'mores were, too. Great experience!
The views were absolutely...

5.00The views were absolutely amazing. The crew was fantastic. An all around great adventure. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my 60th birthday

5.00Pickup was on time. The wranglers took time to get us set up with the right horse/mule and made sure I was comfortable throughout the tour. The mule was well behaved and th scenery for the trek was stunning. Was a beautiful sunset. Then the dinner was delicious and really exceeded expectations by far! Finished with somores round a fire. Great evening. Will do it again next time I’m in Vegas!
Nice staff, Good Views, Lots of Waiting Around

3.00The staff were friendly and the experience overall was well-organized and pleasant. The food was surprisingly good. The weather (on an afternoon in March) was perfect and the landscape was beautiful. However, you should note two inaccuracies in the description: 1. Most of the mounts are mules - not horses. This doesn't really matter, it's just a funny technicality. The mules are very sure-footed over the rocky terrain. 2. The ride is 90 minutes - dinner was about 60 minutes. The experience from door to door took 6 hours, which means we spent 4.5 hours basically twiddling our thumbs. Either in transit to/from Vegas (stopping at a dozen different hotels) or waiting around for folks to get mounted up, take bathroom breaks, get their mount back in line, etc. This would be much less of a problem if they took fewer guests on each ride - there were 30 people with my group - which is a lot to wrangle.

5.00Great customer service and experience from Roy who provided shuttle service to all the wranglers and chef! Despite some very windy and sketchy weather, they all made the experience very enjoyable! We plan to do this again in the future.
Must Ride Red Rock.

5.00We did the sunset ride. How beautiful and Tyree and the girls were awesome. The cook knocked it out of the park. The dinner was amazing and roasting marshmallows by the fire while roping was fun. Great picture opportunities. Pick up and drop off easy breezy. It was the best and I have done several rides in Vegas over time. Far best this was my favorite.
A must do activity if you are near Las Vegas

5.00We are a family of 4 with 2 teens and cannot recommend this tour enough. After a safety briefing and being assigned your horse, you are quickly off onto your adventure. (At the beginning, they ask for anyone to step forward who is nervous..and my wife readily took a step forward. They took care to provide her a more gentle horse and stairs for mounting due to a knee injury. Very thoughtful.) The ride itself is beautiful with the sun beginning to set and the ride seemed to last well over an hour. After a few minutes of riding, we all felt safe and comfortable. Our 3 guides were nearby at all times providing guidance and answering any questions. The surprise of the night was dinner. TBH, I did not have high expectations for the meal, but it was amazingly good. We had 2 steaks, salmon and a vegetarian meal (veggie burger) and they were all top notch. We had steak on the Strip a few days later and were debating the steakhouse steak versus the cowboy steak, it was that good! After dinner, the campfire s'mores were a nice desert followed by learning to use a lasso. The kids loved the lasso lesson and spent the rest of the night trying to lasso the prop steer. We had to drag them away to leave at the end. Shout out to Tyree for being kind and entertaining the entire trip and our other two guides from the trail ride portion, Hailey and Riley as well.

5.00A great place! Our second time. There’s a couple of trails, one a bit flatter than the other. Super nice people, obviously care about the horses. We did the sunset one this time so a super time of the day to be out there. Gorgeous scenery . Highly recommend!
Wranglers made it great!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset ride and dinner. Picked up from our hotel. Arrived, we had 29 riders. Apparently, one of their larger groups. Mike gave clear instructions before we got on the horses of mules. My adult son did NOT want to be put on a mule, he did get a horse. But, they do use lots of mules. They pair the rider and their experience to the horse or mule. It was well organized. They do have saddle bags to hang from the saddle horn for your water, phone, etc, but leave the big purse at the home. Hat, sunscreen, water, and layers recommended. I put my sweatshirt in their dining area during the ride (85 degrees), but I did put it on later to sit by the campfire. Wranglers (Mike, Dario, and Charlie) were awesome! Personable, took pictures, checked repeatedly on us, told us when to give our horse/mule a kick to move along. Dinner was good. Az a limited-experience rider, it was great for me.
