Palm Springs Horseback Riding

Riding in the horses in Palm Springs, 2002
One nice thing about Palm Springs is that you can go horseback riding in the city limits.

Horseback riding's great fun. At $50; it's pricy but well worth it to feel like John Wayne (if you're older) or a character in the new Quintin Tarantino movie (if you're younger) among a stunning desert setting. The horses can be rented from the Smoke Tree Stables.

I've taken the ride years ago as a reporter for the Desert Sun's One Tank Trip column, a newspaper feature that has been defunct for years.

The ride offers some great photo ops, which you can shoot right from on top of the horse while you are riding as this shot was.

At the time I didn't even use digital. That's why you see a bit of that lovely film grain, not to mention such saturated colors.

  1. I think your photo is very nice. It certainly brings back lots of memories.

    I wonder, knowing something about your city from ages ago, do they tax people on the horses they own?
