Horseback Riding
Saddle up and see the West! Even novices will enjoy the views of the Sonoran Desert from the back of a horse. Certain ranches will pick up from the main lobby. The ranches offer guided trail rides, as the rough desert terrain is not conducive to all-out galloping.

• Hours vary according to each ranch’s schedule… generally 1, 1.5 & 2-hour rides are available. Half and full day available when booked at least 24 hours in advance.
• Cost varies from ranch to ranch - some are hourly, some per ride. $35.00 to $85.00 per person (without meals).

Sunset flight is available November through March. The time spent in the air is approximately one hour. Transportation is provided and departure to return time is about 3 to 3.5 hours.
