Such a beautiful location, we went on a sunset trail ride with Eli and loved it so much! The horses were a gentle temperament, the ride was the perfect length of time for our group, Eli answered our questions and concerns and then gave us the most perfect experience. It looks like such a dreamy place to have a wedding or event like that. We went with family, but you could go with a work group or a friend group as well and have a really great time.
