An Unforgettable Zion Experience

Zion Horseback Riding Tours

All horseback rides at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort are conducted by East Zion Adventures. Our horses are chosen and trained to match the wide variety of guests that visit the resort. It is important to let your wrangler know about your past riding experience so he can team you up with the best horse possible. Our horses are young enough to enjoy the Zion mountain trail rides, strong enough to make the climbs, and obedient for safety reasons. See our selection of horse riding day trips and sunset horseback rides below.

Zion Ponderosa horseback riding is located high in the pines at nearly 6,500 feet above sea level on the east plateau overlooking Zion Park. Surrounded by a forest of ponderosa pine, Zion Ponderosa was once home to a pioneer logging camp. Many of the old pioneer trails and horseback riding roads remain and provide guests of the ranch a range of horseback rides through rugged, Rocky Mountain high country.

Zion National Park is one of the most popular of the Utah National Parks for horseback riding tours. It was first discovered by Native Americans who refused to enter the enchanted walls of the Park at night. Early Mormon pioneers hired Indian guides to tour them through Zion National Park on horseback. More than a century later, Zion National Park remains home to some of the most scenic Utah horseback riding tours and trails in the Western United States.
