I took the 1.5 hour trail ride and had Frank has our guide. It was only myself and one other rider, so we had more in depth info about the area from Frank. My horse was Lady and she was just wonderful. I have ridden horses before , but only once a year, so I still feel like a "beginner"..but the horses all were well-behaved and I felt extremely safe. The ride took us through some forested areas, then it opened up to a fantastic view of Bryce Canyon from the North Rim. So beautiful! While we rode, Frank gave us some history about the land and what wildlife and plantlife exist there. I would suggest this ride to anyone looking for a different experience ( other than hiking) and Frank was kind, patient and friendly tour guide! I actually did not want to get off my horse and should have purchased the half day experience.
