Saddle up and experience Zion National Park from a unique perspective. This is more than a typical trail ride and is great for both beginners and experienced riders. Began with a quick introduction and get acquainted with the horses. Learn their unique personalities as you prepare to spend the next two hours together. Your guide will demonstrate safe techniques for handling your horse. The ride begins by following a trail that winds up the side of Pine Knoll through the desert forest with an intense elevation increase. Eventually, the ride exits the forest and you'll get to see majestic sweeping views of Southern Utah and Zion National Park. At the summit, you'll pause to capture pictures that will help you remember this experience for years to come. Then, continue down the mountain, all the while learning about the area and wildlife while listening to western stories.

Thinking of gifting a horseback ride in Zion - anyone done it?

I'm looking to get this East Zion Pine Knoll Horseback Ride experience for my sister's birthday. She loves the outdoors and has always wanted to ride horses. I’ve heard the view from the top is spectacular! Can anyone share their thoughts or experiences? I want to make sure it's a good fit for her since she's a beginner.

Just did the horseback ride in Zion - I'll do it again!

I just got back from the East Zion Pine Knoll Horseback Ride, and wow! The views are insane. The trail was steep, but the guide made it fun and safe. I felt comfortable even though I'm not an experienced rider. Definitely recommend this for anyone thinking of a unique outdoor adventure!
