This was our second time to the Scottsdale area so we wanted something to do other than lounge at the pool. The hotel recommended a dude ranch but with young children we were skeptical. Turns out, this was the best thing we would have done and both my 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter have not stopped... More

Indescribable and the highlight of our trip out to AZ!!!

The canyon creek ranch was the high light of our trip to Arizona. My seven year old son could not stop talking about it when we came home. The horse back riding and old western town were fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive.

We included this excursion during our recent trip to Phoenix. We can't say enough about what a great time we had. We have two daughters (asges 12 & 15) who loved the trip and wanted to go back the next day. Our guide was Joe C. who made the day a lifetime memory for our family. Rusty was also a... More

If you love horseback riding and you want an authentic experience with a good guide, this is the place to go to. Canyon Ranch is about an hour or so outside of Phoenix on the way to Flagstaff. The staff were very friendly and attentive and our group thoroughly enjoyed our morning spent with them!

The ride was a perfect mix of riding and learning. The Western town activities were fun and a first for all of us, roping, throwing hatchets,... More

The horses are obviously well cared for and the grilled dinner and sides were... More

From the very beginning, to the very end, EVERYONE was so nice and accommodating. It doesn't matter whether you are a seasoned rider or never been on a horse before, you feel so comfortable and confident. Throughout the ride your guide (ours Rusty) made sure everyone was able to handle the horses. His knowledge of the surrounding area was impressive.... More

I went with my two kids who are 10 and 13. They had a great time especially my 10 year old son. The trail ride was great and very educational and the old west town was a lot of fun. Highly recommend this as a fun activity on a trip to Arizona.
