“The horseback riding was awesome . They picked us on time and made us comfortable start to the end . We have two young kids, and they happily accommodated them. They, in fact, dedicated a resource for the kids who took care of them from start to finish . the ride was fun as well as adventurous especially when took us to some valleys, these trails were inaccessible via atv or jeep rides .They also took amazing & memorable photos on our cell phones unlike other tours there was no “pressure” to buy their photos. We would highly recommend if anyone is looking for horseback riding.”
