2-Hour Horseback Riding Tour Details
Beginning at the Red Cliffs Corral, you’ll meet your gentle cowboy-trained quarter horse and your professional wrangler, who will take some time to make sure each person feels comfortable with his or her horse and riding technique.
After some lessons in the corral, the ride begins. You’ll head up Castle Creek Canyon where the soft sounds of the clearwater creek add to the ambiance of towering 2,000-foot cliffs. You will cross the shallow creek several times and the views just keep getting better. This beautiful trail is made exclusive to those who choose this trip, so you’ll gain a special sense of seclusion that only adds to the astounding sights.
After the ride, you’ll return to the corral, bid farewell to your steed, and take some time to explore and relax around the ranch if you wish.
