Bryce Canyon Horseback

Ruby’s Inn should be your lodging headquarters for Bryce Canyon horseback rides and other adventures

Bryce Canyon National Park is an ideal summer vacation destination. Boasting breathtaking scenery that includes a vast array of colorful rock pinnacles, fins, spires and arches, Bryce Canyon sits at an elevation ranging from 6,800 to 9,000 feet, making it an excellent respite from hot summer temperatures. Most visitors see the park by stopping at viewpoints along its 18-mile scenic drive, strolling along the rim of its main natural amphitheater or descending below the rim on one of its many hiking trails. Another way visitors can enjoy the area’s scenery is on Bryce Canyon horseback excursions offered by Ruby’s Inn wranglers.

Ruby’s Inn provides four Bryce Canyon horseback rides to choose from, the Thunder Mountain Ride, a 1.5-hour ride, a half-day ride and an all-day ride. Not recommended for first-time riders, the all-day ride covers Red Canyon and two of its offshoots, Casto Canyon and Losee Canyon. This excursion passes through territory covered by Butch Cassidy and his outlaw gang, as well as the Little Desert, which resembles Death Valley. The ride lasts approximately six hours and departs daily at 8:30 a.m. The ride includes a sack lunch.

When staying in the area, choose Ruby’s Inn, not only for its Bryce Canyon horseback rides, but also for its outstanding accommodations and amenities.
