Horse Ride - Had a great time. First time riders so we wore a helmet, definitely wear pants and old shoes or boots. Faculty was very helpful, A few of us were Lost so go EALRY. We did the 2 hr and wow it’s A LOT. Definitely worth the money. I would do the 1 hour next time, your back and thighs may start hurting after the hour mark.

Horseback Ride / Dude Ranch - The experience was awesome! The wranglers who ran the activity were outstanding!!!! The scenery was just breathtaking throughout the whole ride.
We actually cross paths with a rattlesnake, and our leader ( Aspen) was calm and professional. She handlef the situation, perfectly directing all the riders in a wide path around it. This was a situation that has never happened before with her, and we truly appreciated her expertise and absolutely thrilled with a whole experience.!!!

Horse Line - Overall this was a great experience. The tour leader (Kaitlin) was knowledgeable and walked us through all the steps to properly ride our horse. You get a lot of time on your own horse too, which was a plus. The only thing that was disappointing was that they allowed 17 people on our ride and it took FOREVER to load everyone up and get going. Then, on the trail we were nose-to-butt with the horse in front of us the entire way so it just felt like a moving line. They should definitely cap the group amount at 10 or less in my opinion. We left an hour late just because they waited for stragglers and got them loaded up despite being half an hour late. The sights are worth it though and I would still recommend the experience despite this.

2-hour horseback ride - Amazing experience! The only reason for 4, instead of 5 stars, is that they were running about 1.5 hours behind. There was nobody at the stable to explain why or how long the wait was going to be. However, it was well-worth the wait. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the horses were calm and gently. The ride was awesome with amazing scenery. Highly recommend.

Beautiful landscape!!! - Absolutely beautiful scenery!!!! Experience could be better if the guides narrated a bit. They could explain history of the ranch and also the landscape.
