Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort . . Trev is the best guide ! - Our recent trip to Zion was amazing ! The Sunset Canyon ride was breathtaking . . Trev is a funny guy and we really enjoyed his stories . The ride is well laid out and truly gives you an insight into how the beautiful the southwest is and a hint of how life would feel for the early pioneers riding off into the sunset in a old western movie . . We would definitely recommend and will be back !

Great ride - We had a wonderful ride in the cool evening. Trevor and Parker were a great comical team and made the ride interesting. They explained well how to control our rides and made any necessary adjustments to our saddles as we rode. The trail was nice along the hills and gave a great view of checkboard mountain.

STUNNING !! - I went on a ride with my sister. The drive to get there was absolutely beautiful. The check in area had really sweet and caring staff! My sister had big john and i had rooster. They have some well trained horses that are so beautiful. The 2 guides we had are the most amazing, caring, knowledgeable, and sweet guides we ever had. They talked about their experiences, what they do, and talked to us about horse facts. They would check up on us throughout the ride and make sure we felt comfortable at all time. This was the best and most beautiful experience. I recommend going here, they will take good care of you! We love big john & rooster :)

Guides were amazing, we had a great time! - Trev and Rissa were amazing guides! They made sure we were all safe and comfortable and then gave us great info about the area during the ride. They were super easy to talk to and laugh with and they made sure to keep checking in on the group and answered all of our questions. The ride was more adventurous than I was expecting but I never felt unsafe. It was beautiful! Highly recommend!
