About
Join us for this exclusive adventure! You’ll be partnered with a horse just right for you, and your experienced wrangler will guide you through the high desert landscape, taking you to the gorgeous Juniper Overlook! From there, you’ll see miles and miles of scenic landscape, the Red Hollow canyon and the stark White Sands; look up and down the historic Long Valley as you soak up the mid-morning sunshine.
We’ll descend down the overlook trail and ride along the base of the White Sands hillside up to the mouth of the unique Red Hollow Slot Canyon! At the canyon, we’ll dismount and take a short walk up into the slot canyon itself to see the beauty up close!
We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch before we mount up and ride back to the corral.
