What To Expect
**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.

3.00The 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.
Worth every penny.

5.00This 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!

4.00A 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.
