September 7, 14, 21, 29
October 5, 12, 19, 26

We will arrive in camp late Sunday afternoon and be met by Navajo guides. After dinner, we'll gather around a big fire while our guide tells you about the upcoming week's ride. Anticipate some songs and drumming.

You provide your food and drinking water and your horse's food. We provide your horse's water, holding tank water, and water for shower bags and toilets.

We have a great time with nightly pot luck dinners each night. Our guides always join us. One night the Navajo's cook us a taco dinner.

Things to bring:
     Extra cash for jewelry, donations, or tips for dinner and a Navajo pass ($5.00)
     Extra firewood, as there is no wood to speak of out there. If each rider brings some wood, we will be sure to have a nice fire every night.

Children twelve and older are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian. No dogs will be allowed on the trail. In camp, all dogs must be tied or on a leash.

There is no other place where you can experience a ride like these. The scenery is so spectacular it has been used as the backdrop for many movies and television programs. Our Navajo guides are experts at leading us on fascinating rides and they share their history, stories, traditional music and dance. The fellowship you'll be part of is like no other, giving you an experience of a lifetime.

The cost of each ride is only $225 per rider. We prefer to be paid the full fee upfront, but will take deposits of half the amount. You must be paid in-full two weeks before the ride or your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list. Your deposit will not be refunded but you can be moved to another ride if you choose. Make checks payable to Don Vinson.

If the ride you are interested in is booked, I do keep a waiting list in case someone needs to cancel.  Once you are signed up, you will receive a packet with all the other details needed to prepare for an enjoyable trip.

Happy Trails!    I'll see you on the ride!

Lonnie Yazzie 

 

We suffered a tragic loss this year. Lonnie, our scout, was a great guy with a wonderful personality. A good military man, he was a bull rider in the rodeo and a tour guide before he founded his own tour business. He is greatly missed. The rides we take this year will be memorial rides in his honor.

Lonnie's sister will be taking his place as a guide for us.
