We went early morning on a Sunday, no crowds, just the two of us. A friendly greeting upon our arrival. Friendly and efficient staff. We were on our horses within minutes. We did a one hour ride, which was plenty, as we are beginners.
Beautiful surroundings, mellow trail, nice weather, our guide was excellent. She let us enjoy our time and supplied tidbits of info. A stop for pictures on occasion, and at the end with our horses.
This place lives up to its rating. Would not hesitate to recommend. We had fun at the Ponderosa!
