First time at Bryce, late May 2013 - it was a great ride - I would totally advise to take the 3 1/2 hour trip. The sights are spectacular and I enjoyed Carter's corny jokes. How surprised I was to discover that he was only 18 and has been doing this for many years (family business). After the trip I... More

Worth every penny spent for the 3-1/2 hr trip. Our guide Wes was great and alerted us to when it was time to get the cameras ready for spectacular picture opportunities. When we arrived at the stables the guides interviewed us for our riding ability and then matched us to a horse or mule. They do like to walk on... More

We had planned on hiking the canyon during our recent stay, but outside of Zion a couple had advised us to take the plunge and to do the trail ride instead. Needless to say, it was one of the highlights of our trip. The cost is very reasonable ($80/person) and the entertainment (the cowboys and their corny jokes) just make... More

As your wrangler will tell you, "TRUST YOUR MULE OR HORSE!!" Heed his words, since these animals do this twice a day, every day. They love to walk the outside edge which can be nerving, but they know what they are doing. These animals have learned the path that they know where not to walk. As far as the scenery...it... More

This is the best way to see Bryce! We took the 4-hour tour. Our guide, a wrangler named Kasey King, took good care of us, (especially one of us who was afraid of heights) and entertained us with some really corney jokes. If you have a serious fear of heights, this may not be for you. But have confidence in... More

Great addition to any Southwest trip. My wife and I selected the 4 hour trip in the AM. AM is good as it got to be low 80's that day but did start off cool. We had a great time with our guide Cash. He knows the area very well growing up in AZ, and knows how to handle horses.... More

I did the four hour ride, it is an excellent way to see the canyon and get amongst the hoodoos without to much effort. I was on a mule Bluejay who was also a bit stubborn but hey she was a mule. Be warned they love to walk on the edge of the trail which adds to the adventure. Overall... More

It was our first horseback ride. They gave each of us a mule. Very easy to get on the mule (the friendly cowboys helped us a lot). They also explained the basic commands for the mule. My mule Croppy was a little lazzy (had to kick a little to make it move forward) but Croppy followed the trail without problem.... More

My family took the 4 hour ride in Bryce Canyon. It was awesome and worth the price! Our guide Cash was very informative and also pretty funny. The trip was so much fun and the views were unbelievable. Two of us were riding horses and two had mules. I would suggest riding the mules, it was a much smoother ride.

Great horseback riding in Bryce Canyon NP. a four hour ride was $80 and it was well worth it. This outfit has horses and mules and i would highly recommend the mules. They have a much smoother gait, which means a much smoother ride. Our guide was Cache, and he did an exceptional job. The ride down into the canyon... More
