We have a fabulousriding holiday in theGrand Canyon in its winter pastures. This holiday is arigorous horse packtrail and is definitely not to be confused with those infamously tedious donkey rides! We explore the Canyon's Esplanade these are wide terraces varying in width from 200 yards to a mile wide. In the heyday of the West's ranching era they served as a refuge for cattle from winter storms.Todaythanks to the exquisite scenery and solitude, they are an inviting location for wintercamping and exploring.The ride takes us to the least frequented drainages and the going can getroughso riders often need to dismount to lead their horses through particularly treacherous areas. Once the trail drops off the north rim, you are unlikely to come across more humas but there's always theoddbighorn sheep or sky mule deer. Even better you may catch sight of a condor soaring overhead.This riding holidayin the Grand Canyonis only for competent riders and you will appreciate the small groups when you ride in this 'mountain upside down' as the Navajo called it. Could there be a betterwinter sun escape?
