Our varied horseback riding vacations in Utah and Arizona offer riders a chance to visit some of the most awe inspiring terrain in the world.

Even after reading the glowing reviews of others prior to booking, my expectations for the Three Park Spectacular ride were vastly exceeded. The horses were so energetic, well-mannered, sure-footed, lively and sensible. We had the misfortune of being caught in a thunderstorm one afternoon , and the horses were not fazed by it at all. Looking back, it's amazing to me that I did not see a single one of these fine horses shy during the week! The scenery was breathtaking, as so varied. We loved the gallops along the sandy river bottoms, wandering among the brightly colored red and yellow canyons, crossing rivers, climbing through the sagebrush and pine forests, seeing for miles and  miles atop the mountings surrounding Bryce and Zion, and finally looking down into the majestic Grand Canyon. It was indeed spectacular in every possible way!
