Itinerary and highlights
Saddle up and discover the Wild West beyond the Vegas Strip on an unforgettable evening at a working ranch in Moapa. With pickup from select Las Vegas Strip hotels, you'll travel approximately 45 minutes into the Nevada desert, where rugged mountains and historic trails set the stage for an authentic horseback adventure.
Meet your wrangler and get acquainted with your gentle, well-trained horse before setting off for approximately 1.5 hours on the trail. Suitable for all riding levels, the experience takes you through spectacular desert scenery on trails once traveled by some of America's most notorious outlaws.
Keep your eyes peeled as you ride—you may spot bighorn sheep, roadrunners, jackrabbits, cattle and horses along the way. Far from the crowds of Las Vegas, you'll experience the quiet beauty of the Nevada wilderness from the saddle.
After your ride, settle in for an authentic Western-style dinner at the ranch before heading back to Las Vegas. It's a chance to swap the bright lights for cowboy country and experience a side of Nevada few visitors see.
Please Note: This is a single-file trail ride. For safety reasons, guests are not permitted to run or gallop the horses.
