Excellent
I rode Big John and Riley was very informative as I ask questions and like being in the back of pack and had a wonderful experience with your team. The fellow riders were equally impressed and friendly. Morgan was kind helping me off big John. Loved it

Nice place, good horses.
Well organized, great communication. Super way to see a bit more of rural Vegas. Horses and mules know what they're doing, very little to do in terms of control.

Loved my morning trek on...
Loved my morning trek on my mule. The ground was uneven & rocky but Dusty was sure footed, it was fascinating watching him stop at each obstacle to consider his options/choose the safest route before placing any of his hooves. I had chosen to use their hats but couldn't find one that fit as I have a small head. Cowboy Trail Rides responded quickly to all of my questions (via contact supplier) on app. The only negative for me is that the after the supplier changed our pick up location this was not reflected on the app so I had to ask for a screenshot of new pick up point to be 100% we were in the right place - this is something Viator might want to look at in the future

A unique experience, fantastic scenery
A unique way to see the magnificent landscape outside Las Vegas. Only a short drive from the strip, but it felt like another world. The horses and mules are very placid and sure footed (thanks Dusty). The two hours went by very quickly, just the right length of time for beginners and the more experienced riders. Our guides were terrific, very friendly and accommodating. The pick up and drop off at the hotel was on time and well organised. Thank you for a great morning at beautiful Red Rock Canyon. Highly recommended.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Las Vegas.
How much does 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Las Vegas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Las Vegas is not rushed.
Is 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 899 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Las Vegas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon?
+
Around 315 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Las Vegas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Las Vegas and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Las Vegas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Las Vegas?
+
Las Vegas sells two trips at once: the Strip after dark, and the red-rock desert that starts twenty minutes past the last casino. Helicopter runs to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam half-days and Red Rock Canyon drives all leave early, while show tickets, speakeasy crawls and high-roller dining fill the evening. Outty Ranking weighs operator reliability heavily here, because the gap between a well-run desert tour and a coach-and-queue version is enormous. On Outty we rank every Las Vegas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group: Valley of Fire Half Day Tour from Las Vegas, Small Group Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, 7 Magic Mountains VIP Tour, Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam Stop, Breakfast, Lunch & Skywalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Las Vegas?
+
October to April. Summer highs above 105F make midday outdoor tours punishing. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Las Vegas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon?
+
Included: Professional guide; All necessary equipment; Pick-up and drop off from select Las Vegas hotels; and 2-hour horseback ride. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 10 listed pickup locations in and around Las Vegas. Be ready about 90 minutes before the start time.

+

+

Is 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
