Guided horseback and mule rides through stunning canyon country with experienced cowboy guides.
Saddle up for a genuine Western adventure through some of southern Utah's most spectacular terrain. Canyon Trail Rides offers guided horseback and mule rides ranging from 1.5 to 4 hours. Experienced cowboy and cowgirl guides lead each trip. They know every trail and vista. The calm, well-trained horses and mules do most of the work. You just take in the sweeping canyon views and rugged landscapes that make this region famous.
The 3-hour ride ($125 per person) is their most popular option. It takes you deeper into the backcountry with a halfway rest stop for water and photos. For first-timers or those wanting a shorter commitment, the 1.5-hour trip offers plenty of scenery without the full-day investment.
Guides like Chris, Eddy, and Joe get high marks for keeping groups together and sharing local knowledge along the way.
This is bucket-list territory. You'll navigate steep trails with majestic views that you simply can't reach on foot. It's perfect for families looking to experience the canyon country from a different perspective.

The views on this horseback ride were incredible. Around every turn was something different & unusual. This 3 hour ride felt like a 6 hour ride (in a good way!) There is no other place you can ride & see so much in just 3 hours. At the half-way mark there is a water break plus Pit toilets! We had Bret for our guide who was a very interesting person to talk to and at the same time kept his eye on all the riders to make sure everyone was doing OK with their horse.

Loved our experience with Bryce Canyon Trail rides! We took the 1 1/2 hour trail ride that takes you down to the canyon floor and loops around and back up again. Beautiful viewpoints from some trails that you wouldn’t normally see if you hiked in the park. The guides were knowledgeable and so nice. The horses and mules were beautiful and well taken care of. Located directly inside the park boundaries next to the Bryce Canyon Lodge. Highly recommend using them if you’re interested in horseback riding through the park!

although trails were okay, horses look miserable and very sad and tired clearly not taken care of well at all. They stand in the sun all day with no shade and no water and then walk a trail, not even allowed to take a 5 second break or they get whipped if tired on a trail after standing out in the hot sun all day. Not for animal lovers.

The horses are in excellent condition, beautiful walk on quite and adventurous terrain. Google location was wrong, you need to report yourself at the main location first 2-3 miles away from the location from where we started.
