Most parks, recreation and wilderness areas have their own rules and policies for horseback riding.
Some areas also have horse rental services and guided tours.
Contact the individual park prior to your trip to make sure the trails and horse facilities are open. Also verify water sources and trail conditions before you leave for your ride. Below is a list of links to DesertUSA Magazine articles and some park trail guides. For more equestrian trail information at a specific park or location, visit Places To Go .
