horseback riding in arizona 3Like a scene out of a movie, I climbed onto the back of Snickers, my gentle brown horse, and trotted off through the Arizona desert past rattlesnakes and prickly cacti accompanied by our own real live cattle dog. This horseback riding in Arizona adventure had finally begun.

If you like tequila and love to party, Fort McDowell also has a tequila bus you can reserve with 10 of your friends and enjoy a road trip that you might not remember, but won’t want to forget.

  2. Wow! So much fun. Arizona has such a different climate and setting than Indiana, it would be almost like visiting another country. How exotic!
