Canyon Trail Rides

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.
