Murray Canyon Horseback Riding Tour

Allan Lanzador

This was a truly amazing experience for my family and I, and for myself was the highlight of our recent Southern California vacation. The views along the trail are absolutely spectacular and combined with the actual experience itself, (our first time riding horses) was nothing short of remarkable! While we had initial concerns about our 7-year old daughter riding a horse by herself for the first time, it all went very well and we had a lot of confidence in our well experienced guides that ensured our safety and enjoyment. I would gladly give this place more stars beyond five if I could, its a well run operation and I highly recommend it!

My partner and I had a great time Horseback riding. Friendly staff (including the horses!) Helped put us at easy while trying something new. The ride was a little less then two hours. And every minute was worth it. There are some great views to see as you head up into the hills.

Myself and my 13 yo daughter did the 8am Murray Canyon ride. It was the highlight of our week long Palm Springs trip. Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 adorable and affectionate dogs. They love a good belly scratch! The ride itself was amazing. Beautiful views, knowledgeable guide, and sure footed horses. The horses knew their route well and it was fun to watch them attempt to sneak nibbles of the plant life along the way. We also enjoyed seeing their personalities shine thru along the hike. I would recommend the 8am ride for anyone who likes a cooler temp. We’re from Alaska so the cooler temps felt amazing. Regan, our guide was knowledgeable and fun. We even learned a few things about horses along the way. The staff that got us ready and on our horses were patient and helpful with beginner pointers on riding. Seriously, we did the Tram, Joshua Tree, Boomers, the Air Museum, The Living Desert Zoo, this week, but this Canyon ride was the BEST! Book it. You won’t be disappointed.

Best horseback riding experience ever! Been riding so many places but Smoke Tree Stables was by far the best experience we’ve ever had! The trails through the Indian canyons are beautiful, the horses are well cared for, and the staff was so nice. We will definitely be back;)
