Who it's for

Families who want Grand Canyon country more than long days in the saddle

Good to know

Access is by charter flight from Boulder City or a long dirt road from St. George, Utah, 70 miles north
Longer rides come only in higher package tiers, and riders are limited to 240 lb
Rides are relaxed nose-to-tail trail rides for every level, and the horses aren't run, since the trail crosses rocks, cactus and washes
Lodging is covered wagons and bunk rooms, and no alcohol is sold
It's still a working cattle ranch, but guests don't work the cattle

Getting there

Most guests fly in from Boulder City Airport near Las Vegas on a flight the ranch arranges.
