    Buck and his team have created something really special here in Pagosa Springs. Guests consistently rave about the warm hospitality and the obvious care given to their beautiful, well-behaved horses. The dinner carriage rides seem to be the standout option, with reviewers mentioning delicious BBQ, live music, and s'mores around the campfire that add to the old West atmosphere. Several guides get mentioned by name (Brett, Naomi, Jessica, Nick) for being both knowledgeable and entertaining, complete with dad jokes that had families laughing. The experience works wonderfully for all ages, with groups ranging from toddlers to adults having memorable outings together. The scenic San Juan Mountain backdrop earns consistent praise, and many appreciate how the slower pace lets them disconnect and soak it all in. Even when weather doesn't cooperate with snow for sleigh rides, guests still report having fantastic times on carriage rides instead. The flexibility and last-minute availability also stand out, with Buck accommodating same-day reservations without issue.

    We started our stay in Pagosa by joining a wagon ride with dinner at this beautiful location. The horses are well taken care of and the BBQ was delicious. Fun music and s’mores around a campfire added to the fun! Highly recommend for beautiful scenery and the feeling of stepping back in time to the old West!
