3 Hour Wild West Ride
***Personal Favorite***
During this loop ride we travel in a wash up through Coyote Canyon to our famous crested saguaro in the Sonoran Preserve. Then gaining slight elevation to our nice overlook spot that gives you amazing views across the valley. This ride is about 3 hours long and is recommended for intermediate to experienced riders due to the long time in the saddle.
