Snow Canyon Horseback Ride
Duration: 2 hours
Departs from: the Snow Canyon State Park Entrance
Whether you are an experienced rider or a first timer you will have the adventure of a lifetime viewing the rising Red and White Navajo Sandstone cliffs that are layered with black lava flows. The unique advantage of being on horseback with one of our professional guides will allow you to take in many of the colorful desert plants and the opportunity to view the elusive wildlife that roam the park which includes desert tortoises, quail, roadrunners, kit foxes, coyotes, as well as the peregrine falcons flying above it all.
As you continue your ride thru the valley you'll discover why the magnificent views and dramatic backdrop inspired Hollywood to film some of the greatest western movies of all time here on location in Snow Canyon. Movies like Broken Arrow, Jeremiah Johnson, The Conquerors as well as parts of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
This awe-inspiring landscape along with our outstanding personal service makes this trail ride one of the most appealing trail rides in the nation.
