Horseback riding is a popular way to experience the Spring Mountain Range of Las Vegas. Sage Brush Ranch is about a 30 minute drive from Las Vegas hotels.
You can enjoy a morning ride when the air is crisp and cool. Starting off from a quiet and secluded canyon, you’ll ride along a breathtaking trail where abundant desert life resides. Enjoy a breakfast western style over an open campfire. Relax and take in the desert calm while enjoying pancakes, bacon, sausage and beverages. When you resume your ride, you’ll have a chance to see the panoramic city across the valley floor, nestled within the picturesque mountains.
If you prefer an afternoon ride, you might catch a glimpse of big horn sheep along the mountain peaks. Ride through the variety of cactus and yuccas that are native to the area. See majestic Joshua trees that have survived in this desert terrain for decades. Relax to a mouthwatering lunch of hamburgers, chicken, potato salad and all the fixings.
The evening ride is spectacular before sunset, with its dramatic colors of the desert sky and sprawling mountains. As your horse takes you over the mountain ridge crest, you’ll see the glittering lights of the Las Vegas valley. Ride back to the ranch with the stars glistening above, and the cries of the coyotes may be heard in the distance. The light of the campfire and aroma of your steak dinner awaiting will beckon you back.
