Highlights
  • Sinclair - The weight limit for this activity is strict at 220lbs.

First, we will climb into the saddle at the stables and conduct a brief riding lesson for the inexperienced riders. No need to worry if you are a beginner, we have years of experience and reserve the best trained horses for our guests.

In fall and winter months, be prepared for cold weather! Make sure you bring hats, gloves, coats, etc. to keep you warm while you enjoy the tour.

Following this introduction the ride will continue toward the mouth of a slot canyon. After about 20 minutes, riders will dismount and have the opportunity to continue up the canyon on foot as it gets too narrow for the horses to continue. The canyon continues, with several small obstacles to maneuver past. Eventually, the tour will return back to the stables on horseback.

What's Not Included

Additional Information

This excursion merges two of the most well-liked activities in Southern Utah: discovery of picturesque slot canyons and equestrian adventures. There’s no other tour in Southern Utah that presents the opportunity to simultaneously enjoy these thrilling affairs!

Zion National Park is renowned for its stunning Slot Canyons. They’re a magnet for photographers and explorers who are perpetually on the lookout for such awe-inspiring geological features. This off-the-beaten-path canyon, though as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of Zion, is much less crowded. Plus, the entire journey is conducted on horseback!

  • Must be under 220lbs

A MUST FOR ZION/BRYCE - THIS IS A MUST!!!! We stayed just outside of the south Zion entrance and did a day trip to Bryce Canyon. This was a great option for us as it was directly on the way and made for a great pit stop. Truly such a memorable piece of our trip. Our guide, Trav, was so fun, knowledgable, and personable. Our group had minimal (if any) horseback riding experience and did just fine. If you’re traveling to the area, 100% recommend this!!!!!!!!

Horse ride and canyon slot - My 1st horse ride in USA and it was amazing! I got to ride on Old Yeller and my husband on John Wayne. Tucker our team lead is great for giving instructions and information of the formation sand rocks, trees and wild flowers along the journey. They’re gorgeous and great horses. We had the chance to do a short canyon slot and it was magnificent! Will do the 2 hours sunset ride in the future!

Canyon Stroll: A Memorable Horseback Adventure - The horseback ride was delightful. Treu, our guide, was incredibly helpful and made us feel comfortable on the horses, despite our limited experience. What I appreciated most was seeing how well the horses were cared for. Midway through the ride, we took a short stroll into the canyon.

Horseback ride during sunset - We had a very nice ride in the early evening guided by Karlie. We started close to Orderville and enjoyed the sunset over the valley. The horses were calm and easy to handle. Many thanks for the great experience, Karlie!

Ride to a slot canyon - We rode to a small slot canyon, with our guide Trev. It's about an hour experience, that Trev packs full of details and stories about the area. The horses and scenery both gorgeous and it's a great value and worth the trip.
