We had a fabulous horseback ride through Red Canyon by amazing guides. They were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. It was about a 20 minute ride from Bryce. There were about 12 people of all ages on the trail ride. Children included. We encountered a rattlesnake which was very unexpected and the guide handled it so well. No one was put in harms way and the ride went on as planned. 5 stars! We loved it!

We had an excellent time under the guide of Cheryl and Jeff. The views were up close and fabulous. With all the stories of by-gone cowboys and bank robbers, on horseback made it feel like a real adventure. Great value for the money.

Great activity, the gentleman is very friendly, he takes the time to explain well and the landscapes during the trip are very beautiful. Many prairie dogs on the road. I recommend going through them for this kind of adventure

Excellent, magnificent western landscapes, very nice guide, very well trained horses! Magical

It was excellent! Kevin was extremely knowledgeable.
