    Review summary

    Excellent

    Dusty and his crew have built something special in North Platte, offering both river floating (they call it "tanking") and horseback riding experiences that keep people coming back year after year. The staff consistently gets praise for being friendly, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure everyone has a great time. Reviewers highlight how accommodating they are when schedules shift or weather intervenes, with Dusty himself staying in close communication to keep guests informed. The river floating stands out as particularly popular, with families and groups renting the large cattle tanks that easily accommodate multiple people for a relaxing drift down the river. Even when water levels run low, the team finds spots that work well. The horseback experiences also earn high marks, with academy classes offering hands-on instruction for beginners and trail rides suitable for various skill levels. Multiple reviewers mention it's perfect for all ages, from kids to older adults. The animals are well cared for, and the overall operation runs smoothly with timely pickups and drop-offs that make the logistics easy for visitors.

    I visited North Platte, NE and booked sandhill crane and prairie chicken tours as well as a cabin through Dusty Trails. They were great to work with and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area. I highly recommend them!
