I took my team here for a group outing on the last night of our conference in Phoenix. I coordinated with the Ponderosa Stables team several months in advance and they were completely prepared for our arrival.
We decided to take the ride through South Mountain Park to the T-Bone Steakhouse and back. The ride back was the coolest thing ever - it was pitch black and the desert really came to life. The wranglers that road with our group were fantastic!
Highly recommend this experience to any resident of Phoenix or visitors to the Valley of the Sun! This is one of those once in a lifetime experiences!
