About 13 miles southeast of Tucson, out in the shaggy cactus-and-scrub desert not far from Saguaro National Park East, the friendly folks at Pantano Riding Stables will take you out and make you feel like a real cowboy.
Along with the usual one- to two-hour trail rides, they offer a fun “campfire ride” where you can dine under the stars as if you’re working some kind of round-up. The desert out this way is beautiful and thick, and if you go when the cactus are blooming you are in for a spectacular show.
It’s a good idea to call ahead for a reservation.
