Horseback riding is Double R Guest Ranch's specialty. Their experienced staff, well-mannered horses, and spectacular scenery make for an unforgettable experience. Ride with them in the mountains that were the homelands to Apache chiefs Geronimo and Cochise.

The Double R Ranch has developed a diverse horseback riding program. The gentle well-trained horses are the heartbeat of the ranch and they have some of the best trail riding available anywhere. This is your chance to experience the true western lifestyle that most only sees in the movies.

Double R Ranch offers exceptional horseback riding in the mountainous rugged Arizona terrain surrounding the ranch. Whether you are an experienced rider or it is your first time in the saddle, they will make sure you get exactly what you are looking for!

Beginners can enjoy a leisurely ride on the gentle trails surrounding the ranch. Riders with more experience will have opportunities for different guided rides in the surrounding mountains. Many of the mountain trails will challenge even the most advanced riders.
