Scenic Rim Trail Rides: Boulder Mountain, Aquarius Plateau Pack Trip. Four to seven days, any combination of daily rides.

With Scenic Rim trail Rides you'll experience the unique aspects of the Bryce Canyon Area. We give visitors a broader view of nature with access to some of the world's most beautiful creations. We have exclusive rights for overnight stays and day rides through untouched areas of lakes and wilderness. We strive to retain the primitive nature of our area while enjoying its visual bounty.

Each day you'll have options for fishing in clear mountain lakes, riding by horseback to the panoramic overlooks on the highest plateau in North America, scenic side trips, cowboy poetry, music, and of course great western food morning, noon, and night. We’ll even cook your catch.

Day 1-Ride the Hallscreek Trail to Whites Creek. Camp at Twitchell Creek. From this area we will view the Grand Staircase Escalante Monument, Navajo Mountain, and the beautiful red rock scenery of this vast region.

Day 2-Travel from Beck Hollow to The Great Western Trail, (The historic trail that links Canada and Mexico). A day of fishing or riding to Blue Lake, Joe Lake, Flat Lake, and Barker Reservoir, with Aspen groves and mosaic forests in between.

"Testimonials"

Overnight trip:

"My vacation time is spent on outdoor adventures, especially horse back trips. Spending five days on the Boulder Mountain viewing the Bryce Canyon area with Clint Mecham and Scenic Rim Trail Rides has been one of the best experiences I have had. We now plan a trip with them every year with a waiting list of friends wanting to join us."

All day Mount Dutton:

"I was concerned when I had to plan an activity for my church group of various ages and ideas. After calling several outfitters Scenic Rim Trail Rides addressed all my concerns and my budget with a beautiful and professional all day tour of Mount Dutton."

One hour and one and one half to two hour:

"My family and I had never ridden a horse before but our daughter would not let us leave Bryce Canyon without trying. Five minutes into the ride the guides at Scenic Rim Trail Rides made us feel like pros. We decided to stay another night and take one of the longer rides. It was the highlight of our trip."

Shari Burton

"When we arrived at Bryce Canyon we didn’t think we would be able to arrange a horse tour. We inquired with Scenic Rim Trail Rides and found their half day to be available but it didn’t go down in the canyon, instead they took us to an area of Bryce we couldn’t see any other way on the North end of Bryce Canyon National Park. We rode along a section of the Great Western Trail and up along the rim of Henderson Peak then back through 1100 year old bristle cone pines. Our guide, Shilo, answered all of our questions and was full of information of the area. The horses were so well trained we relaxed and soon made new friends with the rest of the small group. We thought to see Bryce Canyon we had to fight the crowds to the bottom of the canyon on slow moving animals, but we rode at our own pace and witnessed an undisturbed area as beautiful as the more public areas of Bryce. Thank you for a great western experience. We will recommend you to all of our friends.
