    Best Horseback Ride in Moab

    San Diego

    Loved this ride! I have been to Moab half a dozen times, and have tried every horseback riding operation in the area. Finally I found Mountain Joe's! All the other operations are nose to tail one-mile rides (glorified pony rides), or the operators are just going through the motions. But riding with Mountain Joe is heaven! The horses are gorgeous, healthy and well-trained. Joe himself is a pleasure to ride with. He's happy to let you gallop if you want, or take your time. The terrain is beautiful--we were riding through ponderosa pines with snow-capped mountains in the distance. We didn't bump into a soul out there: just trees, birds, and a few wandering cows. And I loved riding his Tennessee Walker, Ringo--what a smooth gait! Organizing the ride was super easy, and the price was great. I'll be back, thanks for such a wonderful ride, Joe!

    What a great experience! Joe, Marjorie and our helper guide Tron were friendly and helpful! The horses were beautiful and the views fabulous. We loved every minute. We took our children 6, 8, and 10. The 6 year old was able to ride with me and our daughters had their own horses, which they loved. Thank you for the memories!

    BEST HORSE RIDE EVER!!

    CouplesThis is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever done in the mountains, Joe was awesome as an instructor and definitely let the horses guide. It’s such a beautiful scenic ride, and the horses are so tame and nice. I also got to Gallup the horses which was incredible. This was my first time ever riding a horse and was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life! DON’T MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY IF YOUR UP HERE, SO WORTH IT!!! 

    Wonderful for younger kids

    Aug 2021 • Family

    I took my family of 3 inexperienced riders : 44, 5 & 7 on a 2 hour ride. I can’t gush enough about how wonder the trip was! My 5 year old was able to ride by herself and the perfect horses were chosen for each rider. The views were absolutely amazing! This is the ideal place for families with younger children who want to ride!

    Hospitable hosts in beautiful surroundings

    Jun 2021 • Family

    Mountain Joe's was a sheer delight! There were 3 adults and 2 youth in our group. MJ was very attentive and mindful of both the riders (mostly who had zero experience) and the horses. He is super flexible and his wife Marjorie is quick to respond despite terrible cell service from all providers. The views in the La Sal Mountains are spectacular and MJ will assure you of a rewarding experience! All of us had a great time and sincerely appreciated MJ's kind nature and hospitality!

    Experience the mountains in a whole new way

    May 2021

    We took the two hour adventure ride and saw sights we would never have seen on foot or even an ATV. The view at the turn around was breathtaking. The horses were very easy to ride and responsive to directions. Mountain Joe was knowledgeable of the area and very personable. Overall, it was a great experience! We highly recommend Mountain Joe's Trail Rides.

    Fantastic family-friendly trail ride

    April 2021

    Amazing private trail ride, friendly and low-key, gorgeous views of Mt Peale, a nice place to beat the heat. Only 45 mins from Moab. Very family friendly. Horses were gentle and well cared-for. Couldn’t recommend enough!! Small family owned business. 

    Personalized riding experience

    Mountain Joe's trail ride offered us the breathtaking beauty of the La Sal Mountains. I appreciated this is a completely personalized experience. My 12 year old son and I opted for the 2 hour ride. My son had no riding experience and was initially nervous but Mountain Joe immediately put him at ease and he felt very comfortable handling his horse. Mountain Joe's accommodates any pace (we opted for slow) and the horses are beautiful. This is definitely not a nose to tail ride. It is a must for anyone staying at a Cabin on Wolf Springs Ranch and worth the drive from Moab. 

    Loved our ride

     We had so much fun on Mountain Joe’s trail ride. We stayed at a cabin on the property with the family and one of the highlights of the trip was riding horses.
