Bryceeee - Read the story of PEEK-A-BOO LOOP TRAIL !

A perfect way to experience Bryce Canyon National Park is by horseback riding. I had a few occasions to ride a horse before, but have never participated in a 1/2 day tour on PEEK-A-BOO LOOP TRAIL. The tour isn't an easy one, and I will never regret taking on this challenge. It was so exciting! The horses are well trained to travel along the outer ridge of the trail even when they go down the switchbacks to the bottom of the canyon. The inner edge of the trail is designated for hikers! Well, let me tell you: it is a thrill, and not for everyone! Fear is the factor! When you sit on a horseback, you are much higher, and therefore you feel frightened. There is quite a few horses in front of and behind you. If you scream, your horse starts to gallop, then the others follow yours. They are animals, right? Sometimes, the best thing to do on switchbacks is just to close your eyes and trust your horse! I mean it! I have done it twice!!! Remember it is an experience of a lifetime! For sure, I will remember the Bryce’s breathtaking beauty from horseback for ever,.... and my behind for years! :))
