What if your next desert outing started in the saddle?
A guided horseback ride offers a different pace for exploring the Sonoran Desert. Get to know the horse, settle into the saddle and follow a guide along an established trail.
What to expect
A slower way to see the desert.
Trail riding is about sharing the route with a horse and paying attention to the guide, the animal and the terrain. Introductory walking rides offer time to settle into the saddle, learn basic cues and notice the desert around you. Riding experience, mounting requirements and the actual route matter when choosing an outing.
Enjoy a walking pace.
Cave Creek Trail Rides describes its outings as scenic walking tours, with no trotting or galloping. Its one-hour ride is presented as an introduction for nervous riders and younger children.
