This tour combines two of Southern Utah's most popular activities: exploring scenic slot canyons and horseback riding. You will not find any tour in Southern Utah that allows visitors to experience both of these exciting activities at the same time!
Zion National Park is famous for it's beautiful Slot Canyons. Photographers and travelers are constantly on the search for these incredible land formations. This backcountry canyon is free from the crowds of Zion, but offers the same beauty. And guests get to experience on horseback!

Animals and equipment
Food and water
The weight limit for this activity is strict at 220lbs. All guests must understand English. First, we will climb into the saddle at the stables and conduct a brief riding lesson for the inexperienced riders. No need to worry if you are a beginner, we have years of experience and reserve the best trained horses for our guests. In fall and winter months, be prepared for cold weather! Make sure you bring hats, gloves, coats, etc. to keep you warm while you enjoy the tour. Following this introduction the ride will continue toward the mouth of a slot canyon. After about 25 minutes, riders will dismount and have the opportunity to continue up the canyon on foot as it gets too narrow for the horses to continue. The canyon continues, with several small obstacles to maneuver past. Eventually, the tour will return back to the stables on horseback.

Great trail ride, about an hour in length, the loop produces some beautiful views! This is an easy trail ride and you do not need any riding experience to participate. Our guides Elijah and Carlee were excellent and made sure our ride was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this for a relaxing side trip from the park.

Loved the actual ride. Tim was outstanding in knowledge and looking after the group. I felt better signage as to car parking and actual ride location indicating they were on opposite sides of the road would help. My horse 'Maverick' was very well behaved

This was a a short, but nice excursion. A very slow, easy horseback ride with horses who are used to the routine.
