Hike the Wind Cave Trail
This is a great trail for a run or for stretching your legs exploring the caves in Usery Mountain Regional Park. Keep in mind that the trail leads you up to the cave and is the end point. To get better views of the area, you'll have to climb up past the caves, where the trail is not marked.
Photograph the Salt River Wild Horses at Coon Bluff
Wild horses have roamed the banks of the lower Salt River since long before the Tonto National Forest was created in 1902. It is thought that these wild horses have descended from a herd brought to the area by a Spanish missionary in the 1600's.

The best launch point by far is from Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch. Launching from here allows you to get spectacular views of t...
Horseback Ride in the Sonoran Desert
This picturesque location is truly unique; featuring Saguaro Lake, the spectacular Bulldog Cliffs and the Salt River winds through the Ranch property, and you’re able to experience it all on horseback.
