Getting
Started
A representative will meet
you at 7:00 PM the evening before your trip in the lobby area of the Hyatt Place Las Vegas. The
meeting will last 30-45 minutes. A representative will discuss
the trip and answer any last minute questions you may have.
You should be packed, dressed in your
riding clothes and ready to go early the morning of the trip
- usually 5:00 am. Our
representative will confirm the exact departure time the evening
before.
When
And Where The Trip Ends
The trail ride ends Sunday morning in Kanab, Utah. We will
transport you back to the Ameri-Suites in Las Vegas, Nevada. We normally arrive around 12:00 noon Las Vegas time.
As arrival times can vary due to unforeseen circumstances we suggest that return flights home be scheduled no earlier
than 3:00 PM Las Vegas time.
Clothing
For The Ride
Many a wonderful vacation has been spoiled by wearing uncomfortable
clothing or the wrong kind of shoes. We want you to have a
good time on your trail ride so please take these suggestions
into consideration. Leather boots need to be well broken in,
a pair of tennis shoes or other comfortable shoes should be
brought along to wear in camp. Open toed shoes provide no
protection from cactus and insects. Weather conditions are
unpredictable and we recommend that you bring a water resistant
coat or slicker to tie behind your saddle. Baseball caps are
ok, but cowboy hats are best for shedding rain and provide
protection from the sun, make sure
your cowboy hat has a stamped or choke string on it.
We suggest that you bring a warm sleeping bag with a sheet
and pillow. We will provide a foam pad and cot. Because the
trail ride is in the spring or fall, we advise you to bring
clothing for warm weather as well as cold weather.
We suggest that you use heavy duty canvas duffle bags or sturdy
luggage that can take abuse.
Medical
This is a western outdoor vacation.
It is physically demanding and participants should be in good
physical condition. It is important that participants understand
that we will make every reasonable effort to provide emergency
medical services and evacuation if needed, but sometimes we
will be in very remote sites that will take extra time to
provide the needed medical attention.
Insurance
We feel it is prudent to purchase short term travel,
cancellation and accident insurance.
Policies can be purchases to cover the length
of your vacation and include personal accident coverage and/or
luggage and personal affects.
In addition check with your insurance agent to see
if your home owners policy covers loss or damage to your camera,
luggage, etc.
Special
Arrangements
If you would like to start or end the trail ride different than we
have outlined for the group, you can make special arrangements
with our office 435-679-8665.
