The Juniper Loop:
30 Minutes
A brief riding instruction followed by a leisurely horseback ride through the Utah juniper forest at the base of the red-peaked mountains that connect Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.
Age Limit: 3 Years Old
Weight Limit: 220 lbs. (Dependent Upon Height- If you are over 220 lbs. and also over 6 feet in height, call the ranch to schedule a horseback ride. The wight limit has more to do with weight dispersion than just weight alone.)
In winter, wear a good hat, mittens, and a pair of warm socks, as well as warm coats and other winter clothing. In our Southern Utah winters, it is much more comfortable to wear too much warm clothing than not enough.
Open All Year
Closed Sundays
Price: $40 Per Rider. Optional Gratuity for Guide is Appreciated.
The Cedar Trail Ride:

Brief horseback riding instruction followed by an hour and a half long horse ride along the Southern Utah terrain. The trail goes over streams, hills, and forests at the base of the red-peaked mountains that connect Zion National Park to Bryce Canyon National Park.

The Sunset Horseback Ride
The Sunset Horseback Ride Departs two hours before sunset, so that we are returning to the ranch as the sun sets, allowing a beautiful view of alpenglow on the mountains.
The Sunset Horseback Ride is also the best horseback ride for wildlife viewing.
The trail is the same as the "Cedar Trail Ride", crossing the stream and going through the hills and forests at the base of the mountain range that connects Zion to Bryce Canyon National Parks.

In winter, be sure to wear a good hat, mittens, a pair of thin socks and a pair of heavy wool socks over them, as well as warm coats and other winter clothing. In a Utah winter, it is more comfortable to wear too much warm gear than to not bring enough.
The Half Day Ride:
2 & 1/2 to 3 Hours
There will be a brief introduction to horsemanship before taking the horses out on a 2 and a half to 3 hour horseback trail ride through the Southern Utah terrain.
The trail takes you through grassy fields, sagebrush-filled valleys, and juniper forested hills. There are plenty of natural obstacles out there as well as different skill-level hills and overlook points.
The specific trails we decide to ride our horses on will be determined by your comfort level as we ride along. We may take to the higher Utah hills with steep trails to slide the horses down, or we may take easier routes for a more relaxing horseback experience.
Age Limit: 8 Years Old
Weight Limit: 220 lbs. (If you are over 220 lbs. and also over 6 feet in height, call the ranch to schedule a ride.)
