Excellent addition to our road trip - Decided very last minute to do this tour after seeing it advertised in our hotel lobby. Online registration and waiver were easy to complete online. Mike and Tara got us situated on our horses, Pace and Curly. I have no experience with horse riding and Mike provided solid instruction and some coaching along the way to make our experience fun and safe. The horses we rode were amazing and knew what to do despite our inexperience. Beautiful way to see some of the area up close with narration and Q and A.

Immersive Western adventure! - Decided to book to complement our ‘western adventure’ and I’m so glad we did! I don’t have any previous riding experience, but Mike, our guide, was thorough in his explanations and the horses were clearly well trained. Mike told us stories of his life during the ride and would stop and explain about the landscape/flora we saw. He even sang us a song. Would highly recommend!!

Peaceful Easy Feeling - Mike was a great tour guide. Before the ride, he explained what to do ( and not do) very clearly. That gave us the confidence to enjoy the horse ride without worrying about getting hurt. The ride was awesome! We felt like we really experienced the beauty and peacefulness of Capitol Reef National Park!

Happy Trails with Mike “The Singing Cowboy” - We totally enjoyed our 2 hour horseback ride with our wonderful cowboy leader, Mike. We loved his stories and singing (sounded just like Willie). He taught us how to ride properly even though we’ve ridden before. Very safety conscious which we appreciated and the horses were very well behaved. Beautiful surroundings, crisp air and great company!

Fabulous way to start the day! - Cowboy Mike took a family of 4 and I out for a lovely 2 hour excursion. He was very thorough, chatty, and even threw in a tune for us. Would highly recommend this adventure to anyone! Thanks, Mike.

Super fun ride in the snow - We went on the two hour horseback riding trip. Brilliant proper cowboy guide, excellent safety information and attention to detail . Well matched horses. Fun and informative ride, very cold weather but Capitol Reef was beautiful in the snow.

Beautiful and fun adventure surrounded by red towers - Such a fun, unique experience. Steve, I mean Mike, was a great guide and very fun and playful. It is tricky to balance the unpredictable nature of handling animals with the fun of an adventure and Mike does it perfectly. A kind-hearted cowboy type who will get all the angles for your pictures. Such a fun and beautiful adventure.
