HORSEBACK RIDING
Fort McDowell Adventures
Experience a touch of the Old West and Arizona’s spectacular desert scenery and wildlife on horseback. Learn about the American Southwest with experiences such as cattle drives, overnight rides, breakfast, lunch and dinner rides, pony rides or hay rides and private rodeo shows. Guests may choose gentle horses, but for the more experienced rider, there are spirited horses. See the Mazatzal Wilderness and Tonto National Forest while riding the trails of the wild mustangs. The stables at Fort McDowell Adventures are located on the historical 25,000 acre Fort McDowell Indian Reservation.
In addition, you can experience the true West with Jeep tours. Live a dream and dress up as a cowboy and rope some steers, shoot a six-gun, ride the bucking barrel and listen to tales of the Old West. Fort McDowell Adventures features two Western-theme event facilities offering Wild West celebrations for groups up to 1,000. Catering, beverage and entertainment services are available.

Saguaro Lake Ranch Trail Rides
Ride in the scenic historic oasis of the Tonto National Forest. The ranch lies on the banks of the Salt River, just below ten-mile long Saguaro Lake. Guided trail rides given by our professional wranglers offer spectacular views of the surrounding country information on desert plants and cactus.
Begin your day with a morning ride through the desert or take the sunset ride late afternoon. Bring your camera to capture the beauty of cactus studded hills, the Bulldog Cliffs and Saguaro Lake. From first time riders to experienced horse people, we match each rider with their horse for your enjoyment and safety. For more information, visit our website at www.saguarolaketrailrides.com
