Horseback Riding Through the Arizona Desert
There is no better way to experience the Sonoran Desert than on horseback. Several outfitters near Gilbert and Queen Creek offer guided trail rides through saguaro-studded landscapes with views of the Superstition Mountains. Rides range from gentle one-hour walks to full-day adventures that include lunch on the trail.
No experience is necessary for most guided rides. The horses are well-trained and the wranglers know how to match you with the right mount. It is a safe, exhilarating way to explore terrain that you simply cannot reach by car or on foot.
What to Expect
- Guided rides lasting one to four hours
- Stunning views of desert mountains and valleys
- Opportunities to see wildlife up close
- Sunset rides that offer unforgettable photo opportunities
After your ride, head back to your vacation rental to soak in the tub and relive the highlights. A horseback ride through the desert is the kind of experience that makes a vacation truly special.
