Local Spotlight: Windwalker Expeditions


Welcome to Scottsdale, the West’s Most Western Town. Saloons, cowboy hats, and wide-open views are some of the things you’ll find here. It’s hard not to get caught up in it all, so why not saddle up and go horseback riding through the beautiful desert landscape!


Windwalker Expeditions is unlike your typical riding company. No huge tour group, just you and whoever else you want to ride along side you (plus the guide). This personalized experience makes the your ride whatever you want it to be. Ask the guides questions about the diverse Sonoran Desert or some riding tips! The personal aspect of Windwalker makes a whole lot of difference.


While other horseback tours are stables, and therefore take the same trail all the time, Windwalker is mobile. Always wanted to see the Apache Trail on horse? Meet them there. If you love the high desert scenery north of Scottsdale, then let them know and go explore! Windwalker guides are trail savvy in many different areas of the state, so chances are if you want to ride somewhere, they’ll guide you around. With over three million acres that the company has trail permits on, it’s not likely you’ll be disappointed.


The fact that Windwalker caters to high skill level riders is another draw for visitors. Those vacationing without their horses from home still can have a great time on a more advanced trail, and are also allowed to trot and canter. That doesn’t mean the novice riders are left out though. Your guide will create a unique trail ride so all the riders in your group can enjoy the ride!


If you’re looking for a private riding experience, whether you’re advanced or novice, English style or Western style riding, Windwalker is your spot. Check them out here, or call 480-585-3382 for more info.
