You cant really call it roughin it.. .because at the end of a long day of riding, you get to take a hot shower and go to sleep on a mattress in a sturdy, covered tent. You cant really call it roughin it... because the horses and mules you ride are already bridled, saddled and fed, before you even get on. But the saddle sores you get after riding for seven days through the spectacular southern Utah and northern Arizona country side... they re definitely roughin it! Everybody dreams of being a cowboy and riding the open range. The Red Rock Ride offers horseriders the opportunity. The seven day adventure leads international guests through three national parks, as well as some of the most spectacular scenery in the entire nation. Wranglers enjoy the overlook on the Red Rock Ride at S.B. Point on the Arizona Strip. Seven days in the saddle may sound unappealing to those used to modern conveniences, but with the amenities that the Red Rock hosts provide, cowboys have never had it so good.

Together, they knew they had something special to offer people seeking western adventure. were talking about starting the ride, said Keela Mangum, and after each trip and, all the work, we say its going to be our last. But while offering the trip requires an awful lot of work, neither family wants to quit something they enjoy so much. Red Rock riders, who come from all over the world, are picked up on the first day in Las Vegas. Zion National Park is their first stop where they meet their wranglers, hosts and horses. The dramatic, white sandstone mountains of Zion give participants their first glimpse of the stunning scenery to come. Campers are fed hearty meals, and sleep under the stars that night, giving many their first big sky experience. I never knew there were so many stars, said Melissa from Australia.
