WHAT'S MY RIDING LEVEL?

The terrain in southern Utah is rocky, often steep or narrow. Horses and riders should be prepared for challenging terrain. Horseshoes/boots are always recommended for more difficult trails.

Camp in a tent or trailer/camper in spacious sites alongside your horses. Camp sites have full hookups.

Campers are also available to rent, and will be set up and ready for you when you arrive.

Hearty breakfasts and dinners around the campfire will be provided. Guests must provide their own lunches, snacks, and alcoholic beverages. Dietary restrictions, allergies, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free can all be accommodated with advanced notice.
