Wonderful! It snowed the night before, and the "natives" were giddy. We saw snowmen perched on car roofs and snowball fights in nearby golf courses en route to the trailhead. Barry met us on two beautiful roping quarterhorses and took us up and down challenging trails. The vistas were gorgeous; the snow on top of saguaro cactus and the waterfall equally so.
My novice riding wife did more trotting than she ever had, and I cantered wherever the footing and slopes permitted. Barry willingly answered all of our equine care and handling questions.
We want to go back - this was a truly memorable experience! Many thanks to everyone at Windwalker for enabling us to do this!
