You Just Can’t Beat And Old Fashion Las Vegas Horseback Riding Tour
You may have thought only actors get to take part in Westerns, but think again. Book your Las Vegas Horseback Riding tour and hear the echoes of gun fights and the rattle of wagon wheels from more than a century ago. History runs deep, right into the layers of Nevada desert dirt. Your flight may have brought you to the city, but a horse will take you a sandy wilderness.
Your first concern is safety. These days many people opt for a helmet when horseback riding, and these are available upon request. Children, however, must wear a helmet up to the age of twelve, and kids as young as six receive the same hearty welcome as their parents. Remember to apply sun block to their young skin, but also to your own. Sun reflecting off of sand makes for sunburn when you do not come prepared. Wear a hat too. Layer yourself in winter, making allowances for cooler mornings and late afternoons.
Another good thing to bring is a hearty appetite. Each of the three riding packages includes a big meal. Plan to be gone five hours whichever tour you choose, but leave the guides to find you at your hotel where they will return guests at the end of their adventure.
A Wild West Sunset BBQ lets guests learn a thing or two about herding and penning cattle, just like real cowboys. Whether or not you have ever ridden a horse before makes no difference: everyone will feel like a professional rider at the end of their five hours. Escape urban life with a heart steak or chicken meal.
Mornings in the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area also give a man or woman on horseback quite an appetite. Head for Bonnie Springs simulated mining town as real riders and Paiute Indians might have done a century ago, following their very path just as it was then: no paving or roadside coffee bars. Though you may imagine the sounds of mustangs on the air, that could be your stomach growling in anticipation of hash browns, eggs and flapjacks.
Take a similar route, this time for an Ol Spanish Lunch Ride. Red Rock Canyon provided the back drop for cowboys and outlaws long ago, now providing the same scenic service to contemporary tourists. Here is another chance to visit Bonnie Springs, only on this tour your stomach will growl for chicken, Fillet Mignon or ribs.
A glimpse of 1880s Nevada, provided at Bonnie Springs, reminds visitors of a lawless and unpredictable time in U. S. History. Feel the potential for danger or discovery in a simulated mining town that pays close attention to details like authentic buildings. Actors round out your experience, drawing visitors even further into their time warp.
Witness a hanging or a gun fight. Watch men drop to the sound of bullets or the creak of a wooden scaffold. Stop by a saloon where men socialized in a pressure cooker environment, aware that the friendly guy at bar could lose his cool at any time, and you had to be a brave man to act as sheriff.
