We visited Canyon Creek Ranch over school vacation in April. They were so accommodating from the beginning. My husband and two boys, ages 16 and 11 had never ridden horses before and our guide, Dube, took great care of us! We were matched up with the perfect horses for us and Dube led us at a pace that was perfect... More

A great morning. Our cowboy guide RIch was fun, informative and reassured our 8year old who had never been near a horse before. He wants to go back for summer camp even though thy do not do one. We had a great lunch with homemade chilie, homemade potato salad, BBQ and more, The price may look a little more than... More

We had the best father son Cowboys(Craig and Gabrial) that took great care of us especially our young daughter Gracie. While the son held the reign of her horse the father actually walked behind her horse to make sure she did not fall off. The scenery was incredible--didn't have to drive all the way to Tucson to see those huge... More

We had a great day of riding horses and other fun western activities at Canyon Creek Ranch with our guide, Rusty. The place is located about :45 out of Phoenix where we were met by Rusty just off the Hwy. After about a 10 minute ride to Canyon Creek, we signed the releases, were saddled up and the tour began....

Tried to find a family activity and this checked all the boxes. All the great reviews are true. The staff at the ranch, especially our guide Zach made an amazing day for our family. We had never ridden horses before and they made it so easy. Our 6 and 8 year old girls said this was the highlight of their... More

Reviews looked good so I made the inquiry for our 2 friends and us. The lady handling reservations was so helpful, we were going at a very hot weather time, she... More

All the other reviews were dead-on! Great people, tons of fun and we learned a lot about the desert life. Joe C was our guide and he's full of great info & a bit of a prankster. Our son (11) loved this and he's never expressed any interest in this type of thing. It's a quick drive and worth the... More

This was our fist visit to Arizona. Coming to Canyon Creek Ranch was awesome! Our guide met us in his jeep and we followed him to the ranch, to assure we could find our way. When we arrived it was a bit windy and chilly, but not a problem, the ranch was stocked with coats and sweatshirts for us to... More

WOW! Everything you're doing right now, keep doing it because you're doing it right. My wife and I were there on business/vacation and decided to spend a few hours horseback riding and other cowboy activities at the ranch. Our wrangler was Craig and his boy Gabriel, and they were EXCELLENT. Man, we had such a good time hanging out with... More

My family and I visited Canyon Creek Ranch as one stop on our week long tour of Arizona. Our tour guide, Rich, took us on a horseback ride that leads out to a western town where we played lots of games and had a cookout for lunch. Rich was such an excellent tour guide!. He was very friendly and talkative.... More
