Bob was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The ranch was awesome. Food was good and the staff was very friendly.
This was such a fun horseback ride through a beautiful Joshua Tree forest near Grand Canyon West! No riding experience is necessary, these horses are gentle and stick to the trail. This is a great tour to do with friends or family of any age. Bob with Desert Wonder Tours is an awesome guide for your trip up to the ranch. He is a local with tons of history to share about the area and is very accommodating to his guests. I would definitely choose him again for tours in the area!
What a great way to spend an afternoon, the views are amazing and the staff is great. I would definitely do it again
