Kevin was great, took tons of pictures for us and air dropped them to us at the end of the ride. The horses were awesome and very friendly. The views were fantastic and there were parts that were scary narrow and steep both up and down. Would do again, but in a shorter ride b/c we are all sore. 1 stop about halfway though the ride. However, this posting is misleading, this is a 3rd party booking so i doesnt have all the info. This is NOT beginner friendly, NOT appropriate for all ages (OG posting says 10+). There is no giving up in the middle of the ride, you have to complete the whole ride as rescue services are by these horses only! No backpacks or hydration/camelback packs, water bottles only. You will 1000% need sunscreen, long sleeves, and a hat. Arrive 30mins early to do all your stuff and get sorted. Would recomend looking at the posting from the actual place. Its called "Thunder Mountain Ride".

The ride up and around Thunder Mountain was AMAZING! The horses were great! Views spectacular! I was disappointed with our guide! We asked many questions and he didn’t know the answers to most of them! He spent a good amount of time on his phone, and though he led us through, he did not seem interested in interacting with us! Also, the ride was advertised as FOUR hours, and total time, including drive to and from was 3 1/2! Suitable for anyone except those afraid of heights!
Best ride ever!

We had a great ride with Skylar, our trail guide. The predicted rain held off and it was overcast but the views were still spectacular. The trail was nice and quiet. An exciting trip for sure!
What an amazing experience!!!

What an amazing experience!!! Breathtaking!! It was everything we hoped it would be! We had our awesome guide Jeff for both Thunder Mountain and our all day ride through Red Canyon. He took so many amazing pictures through our rides that he later shared with all of us. Also, throughout both rides he pointed out many interesting highlights and even had a few good stories to share!! Their horses were amazing, and very novice friendly! These trail rides will get you down in the riverbeds and up on the rims of the canyon that give you a completely different perspective of this beautiful scenery. Just do it!!! You will never regret it!
Breathtaking

This is a must do!! The scenery was beautiful, amazing and scary. I only put scary, because of the heights. You must have ridden before and not be afraid of heights. This is four hours that you won’t forget! Breathtaking!!
Views are spectacular, hard to describe the vast beauty!

Excellent experience. Our cowgirl was Anita and she was knowledgeable and carefully took us around Thunder mountain. WOW was that awesome. 5 guests in our group and all experienced except one who had never been on a horse. A horse named Wallin was assigned to her and between the great horse and Anita the whole experience was great. Everyone agreed that we would do it again.
Best ever

By far, the most beautiful horse back riding I’ve ever done! This Thunder Mountain ride provides everything - breathtaking heights and fabulous views! Our guide, Jake, was a treasure. He shared some great stories of a lifetime of loving the great outdoors, especially with his beloved mules. The horses we rode were rock solid. This 4 hour experience is a must for riders!
Beautiful ride

The scenery was spectacular, and our guide was down to earth, and full of good jokes. The horses were well maintained and lovely to ride.
