Horseback Riding
Arizonans celebrate a love affair with the horse here in the Southwest and there are numerous places visitors can take a trail ride through our stunning Sonoran Desert. At Goldfield Livery & Stables, they cater to riders from novice to experienced, singles to large groups and many families. Located at Goldfield Ghost Town, the trail rides often feature the history of the legendary Superstition Mountains. At Don Donnelly D-Spur Ranch & Riding Stables, located just east of Mesa in Gold Canyon, guests can enjoy horseback and wagon rides through 5,800 acres of pristine desert terrain. Daily rides, overnights and cook-outs are all options for travelers seeking out a horseback adventure.
