    One hour across a private cattle ranch — scenic trails through pastures and forests with canyon views, suitable for all riding levels.

    It was an excellent experience. As a first-time rider, I found our guide to be very informative and caring. When my water bottle fell out during the ride, I expressed my concern about littering the area. She reassured me she would locate it and asked if I would manage without water. Such kindness.Lori_J

    Two and a half hours exploring rugged terrain in a UTV, guided through Bair Ranch with sweeping views of the Glenwood Canyon.

    It was a really enjoyable ride. We were part of a small group with a couple of other couples, and our guide was excellent. He made sure everyone felt at ease with their machines and provided an informative tour of the beautiful area.Jeff H
