Stunning Views, Wildlife & Wonderful Guides!
Xin_M, October 2026
Such an amazing experience! The whole ride took 2 hours and was super immersive, with stunning views of Red Rock all around. We even spotted some wild rabbits and Gambel's quail along the trail! Our guide was incredible and helped us take great photos. Both the horses and mules were so sweet and sure-footed. I’m 100% coming back—can’t wait to try the BBQ ride when the weather gets a bit cooler!

Absolutely incredible experience! The views were breathtaking, and the wranglers were wonderful from beginning to end. The ride was definitely more adventurous than I expected, but that made it even more fun and memorable! The horses and mules were amazing, and I loved getting away from the Strip and experiencing the beauty of Red Rock Canyon. Such a unique and unforgettable way to experience Las Vegas — I would absolutely do this again!

Excellent
ALICE_S, October 2026
I rode Big John and Riley was very informative as I ask questions and like being in the back of pack and had a wonderful experience with your team. The fellow riders were equally impressed and friendly. Morgan was kind helping me off big John. Loved it

Nice place, good horses.

Well organized, great communication. Super way to see a bit more of rural Vegas. Horses and mules know what they're doing, very little to do in terms of control.

Loved my morning trek on...
Elizabeth_A, September 2026
Loved my morning trek on my mule. The ground was uneven & rocky but Dusty was sure footed, it was fascinating watching him stop at each obstacle to consider his options/choose the safest route before placing any of his hooves. I had chosen to use their hats but couldn't find one that fit as I have a small head. Cowboy Trail Rides responded quickly to all of my questions (via contact supplier) on app. The only negative for me is that the after the supplier changed our pick up location this was not reflected on the app so I had to ask for a screenshot of new pick up point to be 100% we were in the right place - this is something Viator might want to look at in the future
