About

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.

Choose Your Adventure

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.

What to Know Before You Go

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.

Important details:

  • Weight limit: 220 pounds

  • Guides assign your horse or mule based on experience and comfort level

  • Bring a hat, plenty of water, and cash to tip your guide (they earn it)

  • Located right in Springdale

It's an easy add-on to your Zion National Park visit. You'll see southern Utah the way cowboys have for generations.

Highly recommend taking the 1.5 hour trip. For an average rider it was very fun. The horses or mules do the work but you have to steer and speed them up at times. Joe was a great guide and kept everything in order!

Decent time. Great views. Our guide wasn’t the best. We didn’t get any information on any of the main attractions along the ride. Still a beautiful view and an experience.

We had a great time on the one hour ride. It was just the right amount of time for us. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, kept us safe and smiling and showed us some great sights in the park. Would recommend!
