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!

**Please follow the map in your confirmation email to get the correct meeting location.** 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.

The horseback ride would be nice for beginners, but its honestly pretty boring. Not many great views. The slot canyon was much The same as the other slot canyons in the area.

This was amazing. I booked this as a surprise for my husband and he loved it. The horses were incredible and so easy to ride. We’re absolute beginners and we had no problem at all. The views were great, the weather was very doable considering it was January. And our guides were super friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

A beautiful experience, I have always wanted to visit Zion National Park and an adventerous horseback ride sounded like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The small group experience was also nice, and the guides were locals that knew the area like the back of their hand. This is not a ride for riders who are beginners, but if you are up for the challenge, you can most certainly still do the ride and have a blast.

Leisurely stroll through the mountains with a quick short hike through a slot canyon. Good for those even with no experience riding.

Short but sweet; enjoyed the ride and walking into the slot canyon. Saw mountain lion and mule deer tracks. Tim did a great job.

This was the second time for us to do this same horseback ride tour. The horses are great and well taken care of. The guides are extremely friendly and make conversation along the way which helps the newbies relax.

It was an enjoyable leisure horse back ride. We were hoping to see a bit more scenery along the way. Guides and horses were good!
