here is only one-way to experience the serenity and beauty of the Arizona landscape.  Hop in the saddle and ride into the heart of the majestic Sonoran Desert.  Steep, soaring mountain walls stand off in the distance against the desert sky, offering a watercolor backdrop to this awesome setting.  The ever-flowing Verde River awaits you on this diverse and one-of-a-kind ride.  It's a surreal journey through one of the scenic jewels of the desert southwest.  Morning, afternoon, and sunset trail rides are available at flexible times.

In addition to our infamous hour and a half Verde River Trail Ride, we offer one-hour, two-hour, half day, full day, and overnight rides.  If you have a group, we offer the City Slicker Cattle Drives to groups of 12 or more.  This two-hour cattle drive pushes the cattle from our remote pin back to the stables.  Learn where the wild mustangs ran and live the life of a real cowboy on your own City Slicker Cattle Drive.  Hay wagon rides are also available for groups.

Complete your ride with a meal on the trail, at the stables, or back at La Puesta or The Ranch.  It is the complete Wild West Experience, found only at Fort McDowell Adventures.
