Equestrian Escapades

in the Sonoran Desert

Join us for trail rides at 7am (sunrise) and 6:30 pm (sunset) from May to September, and experience the desert flora and fauna of the Santa Catalina mountain foothills on a sure-footed stock horse. Our 60-minute walk and 90-minute walk/trot rides include a short safety lesson, making them great for beginners. Explore our private trails spanning 80 acres of the resort.

From October to April, experienced riders can go on off-site adventures with our 2, 3, or 4-hour rides through Catalina State Park, Sabino Canyon, the Rillito River, or Saguaro National Park. These rides offer a deeper immersion into the region’s natural beauty, allowing you to explore vast landscapes, folded hills and mountains, and the area's unconstrained spirit.
