cookout ride
Come and get it!
Sizzling steak and chicken, the scent of hamburgers and hot dogs grilling to perfection, the unmistakable aroma of cowboy coffee brewing nearby, the welcoming sight and warmth of a crackling bonfire on a chilly evening. Add a secluded setting that's tucked away within a true box canyon where the walls are decorated with fascinating groupings of petroglyphs. These are the ingredients that make this outing memorable for your family, friends or co-workers. Whether you ride horseback or on the hay wagon, our cookouts are designed to be relaxing and fun affairs where you can experience a taste of the Old West. You supply the group's activities and
entertainment (see our ideas for groups), we supply the horses, food, atmosphere and lasting memories.
