Horseback riding at Fort McDowell Adventures

I love horseback riding.  It’s one of my favorite things to do and years ago I was able to go weekly.  When I saw that this was on the itinerary for the Phoenix BloggersGo trip, I got super excited and quickly realized it had been more than 3 years since I had been on a horse.  Yeehaw and lucky us!

Detours

Detours came and picked us up to take us on a 45 minute ride over to Fort McDowell Adventures.  The driver was super nice and knowledgeable about Phoenix.  He happily shared fun facts and pointed out points of interests during our ride.

Detours is a leader in professionally guided tours of the Southwest, offering the most comfortable and memorable tours since 2001.  Started by a team of guides who have been touring since the 1980’s, Detours wanted to create a truly amazing experience for each guest with our custom vehicles, expert guides, and flexibility. Day tours showcase the best that Arizona has to offer with Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Apache Trail, Tombstone, and Phoenix/Scottsdale City Highlights Tour.  If a single day is not enough time to enjoy amazing views and the rich cultural history of Arizona, we offer overnight touring options available in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Private, custom made tour departures are available to connect with any destinations in the west.  Let Detours help you enjoy your next vacation. www.detoursaz.com

Once we arrived, we met our already saddled up horses and headed out into the desert for a beautiful scenic ride.  Starting with a peaceful ride on a dusty trail and then a walk through a small creek, the horses were calm and pretty automatic, which makes it safe for even the most novice rider.

For many visitors and locals, there’s no better way to connect with the land, soul and heritage of the Southwest than exploring the region on horseback. Remote riding trails are scattered throughout Greater Phoenix and its unpopulated outskirts.  www.fortmcdowelladventures.com
