Red Rock Canyon Trail Ride

When people think of our favorite city, they instantly think of the big casinos that make Las Vegas famous. But our recent horseback riding adventure through Red Rock Canyon was about as far away from the Strip experience as you can get (even though we were only thirty minutes from the Strip at the time). 
 

 

After arriving at Cowboy Trail Rides, our group was given a quick how-to and introduced to our horses. The wranglers knew each horse by name (we got Cody and Dunny), and it was easy to see that this family-run business really cares for its livestock. The trail ride itself took us though some amazing scenery, with several stops for picture-taking. We arrived back at base, just as the sun set, to a BBQ dinner and campfire. There were several international visitors in our group, and we introduced them to the fine art of marshmallow roasting (I showed them my preferred technique – letting the thing catch fire then blowing it out – but they all seemed to go with the turn-slowly-until-brown method).
 

This will definitely not be our last trail ride. Cowboy Trail Rides offers several different trail ride options (we are considering the more challenging five hour ride for our next one, though certain body parts are making some pretty convincing arguments for a shorter ride), and has horses for riders of all ages and experience levels. For more information, visit their website www.cowboytrailrides.com.
