Horseback Riding
Canyon Trail Rides, Zion Canyon Description
A sedate trail ride at a walking pace, perfect for even the most skittish young rider (as long as he's over 7) or the most footsore hiker needing a break. Friendly local cowboys chat with you about the sights and wildlife as you wind through the canyon -- the horses pay attention to the trail so you can devote your attention to the stunning landscape. You won't see hikers or the road for most of the ride, giving you the feeling that you are pioneers riding into the undiscovered valley in the nineteenth century.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: Kids over 10 can go on half-day rides, which bring you much farther into the canyon and include a break for snacks.
Planning Notes
- Wear closed-toe shoes. No sandals or flip-flops allowed.
- Don't bring a backpack. You may bring either a camera or binoculars, but not both.
- Sunhats must have chinstraps. Horses startle if hats fall off.
- Take the shuttle. The trailhead is across the road from Zion Lodge.
- Age and weight requirements. Riders must be 7 or older and under 220 pounds.
