We try not to go where you travel with a bus load of people so this "personalized" ride through Cross Creek Canyon Ranch was just what my wife and I were looking for. Joe C was a true character right out of times gone by. We felt like we were just out on a "ride" with an old friend. "Old... More

My family and I had sooooo much fun with Cowboy Kolby and the Western Destination crew. This was the first time the kids rode horses and we all had a lot of fun! Even the rare Hela Monster made an appearance on our ride. Once the ride was over we walked around town, enjoyed a great lunch, and played lots... More

I always wanted to go horseback riding in the desert. I saw Western Destinations listed in Trip Advisor and figured over 100 reviews couldn't be wrong! I am so glad my husband and I had an opportunity to go riding with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Craig. The groups are kept small which makes it easier to talk while... More

This was my first trip to Arizona and this was our first stop, to kill some time before we checked in at the hotel. We have been horse back riding several times before but this was the best experience ever! Joe C. was the best tour guide, he was funny and knowledgable. My husband found this the day before we...

Hear about the trip through orientation at the Marriott Canyon Villas, Phoenix from a cowboy. Sounded exciting. Booked it immediately. And we are so glad we did. We met Cowboy Joe C. at the designated exit approx 30 miles North. We followed him for 41/2 miles to the ranch. The morning began with a few quick lessons and rules. We... More

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our trail ride - a shout-out to our dear friend Robin, who introduced us to the ranch and helped to make our experience memorable. The setting is beautiful and the "town" is a lot of fun - it looks like it would be great for families or groups but we had a good time... More

We booked this after a change of plans which made us head for Arizona for the sun instead of San Francisco rain! I was worried my 10 year old son, who had never been on a horse in his life, wouldn't cope but he loved it. We learnt about different cacti and environment and when finished, my son didn't want...

I just returned home from a bachelor party at with Western Destinations at Canyon Creek Ranch. This was my first visit there and am already looking forward to coming back real soon. We went as a group of nine looking for a unique experience, one that we would never forget. Sure enough, this was one adventure that did not disappoint.... More

This is not DisneyLand! It's better! My fiancée surprised me for my birthday with a trip to Canyon Creek Ranch for a Western destinations adventure. And what a surprise it was. We were greeted by Joe, an authentic cowboy. And he has stories to share! We started off with a horse ride, admiring beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and... More
