"Oh!
It felt so great
to be on a horse again! This was
my idea of Heaven...
Art,
Horses,
Beautiful scenery,
and like-minded
Companions."

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT
WITH THE RIDING ?

All levels of riding ability can be accommodated
on this trip. Beginning riders will be mounted
on a very gentle horse that really likes to only walk!
Intermediate and more advanced riders will be mounted
on more spirited horses. The first day is 3-5 hour ride
from the mouth of the canyon to our central camping site..

ALL RIDES MUST BE ACCOMPANIED
BY A NAVAJO GUIDE

PAINTERS / PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO RIDE AT ALL
CAN BE TAKEN TO EACH NEW
SITE IN THE SAME TRUCK CARRYING
ALL THE ART GEAR

Painters / Photographers
All gear is brought in for us by truck, so we ride
unencumbered.

Each day, as the painters / photographers travel to a new painting site, those who wish to ride, join the group
trotting up the canyon where they are met with the truck carrying lunch and all of their painting / photography stuff.
.

Optional Afternoon Ride
Those who choose may take a trip on an ancient trail
into the canyon that goes through a short cave.
