Overview
Beginning at the Red Cliffs Corral, you'll meet your gentle cowboy-trained quarter horse and our professional wrangler who will take some time to make sure each person feels comfortable with their horse and horseback riding technique. After some lessons in the corral, horseback riding begins. You'll head up Castle Creek Canyon where the soft sounds of the clear water creek add to the ambiance of towering 2,000-foot cliffs. Cross the shallow creek several times as the views just keep getting better. This beautiful trail is made exclusive to those who choose this trip, so you'll gain a special sense of seclusion that only adds to the astounding sights. After your horseback ride, you'll return to the corral, bid farewell to your steed, and take some time to explore and relax around the ranch, visit the Moab Museum of Film and Western Heritage, or join us for lunch on our River Deck before heading back to Moab.
