Each day, riders cover many miles, beginning early in the morning. Anyone who isn't used to riding may be uncomfortable. The staff recommends stretching and exercises before the ride. Riders will spend about 50 minutes on the horse and 10 minutes off each hour to stretch and take pictures. Horseback vacations include meals prepared by chefs.
Participants sleep in tents, which staff members set up.
A typical breakfast buffet offers eggs and breakfast burritos, and evening meals may include roast beef and mashed potatoes. One staff member brings a bread machine to bake homemade bread. Like stepping from a John Wayne movie, participants will see horses and giant spires silhouetted against the sky. Navajo guides, who have lived on the land for years, lead the trips. John Huston made several movies here.
