We had an amazing horse ride through Joshua Tree and would recommend Knob Hill Ranch to everyone! We felt so welcome the minute we arrived to the ranch and made to feel completely reassured and at ease with riding, despite being novices/beginners. The staff were so friendly and generous, we enjoyed chatting away about the area and life as we rode through the beautiful scenery.We are looking forward to coming back again for some longer rides and more horse riding teaching!

I had an amazing 2.5 hour ride with Natalia! Natalia is a great guide - she is knowledgeable, friendly, humorous, and will give you the more experienced riders a fantastic, memorable time. The stable is beautifully kept and the horses are well maintained. The ride itself is gorgeous; there are no bad views and you will spot plenty of local wildlife including quail, coyote, and hares. I can’t recommend this stable enough!

Beautiful views of Joshua Tree National Park from horseback! Natalia, Barbara, and Don are wonderful people who care deeply for their horses as well as their guests. My fiancé and I enjoyed ourselves on a couple of the beginner horses, Astro and Biscuit. We felt completely safe despite the high winds. Thanks so much for hosting us in your guest house, we’ll be sure to visit again in the future!

We had a great time! The guides were patient and gave us the necessary training to ensure we were safe. The horses are beautiful and suited for our level of experience. Being able to see the park by horseback is really the best way.We will definitely be back and hope to do another tour in the future. They are a great group of people.

I had a wonderful ride into Joshua Tree National Park. Barbara was an excellent guide and gave us a brief lesson before the ride began. The horses are well cared for and excellent to ride. Highly recommended!

Had a great time riding horses at Knob Hill Ranch! Awesome way to see Joshua tree and the surrounding areas without having to hike. We went around sunset time and the weather was great!

Fantastic horseback riding experience! My husband and I are beginners and wanted to try riding. I made a reservation over the phone. We did a 2 hour ride through Joshua Tree. We got a little introductory lesson at the ranch for how to steer and stop the horse. The ride was beautiful and relaxing. Don was really nice and have a tour of the valley. He was excellent at maki us feel comfortable and safe. Would definitely return.A word of warning, the road to get there is unpaved and google maps directions aren't accurate.

My boyfriend and I had a great experience here. My boyfriend had never ridden a horse before, and Barbara was very patient and thorough when instructing him on the basics and familiarizing him with his horse. The weather was incredible. Our trail guide, Don, was knowledgeable and kind. The trail was beautiful - we did the 1.5-hour ride and it was just the right amount of time for us. We look forward to returning in the spring! Thanks for a great time. :)

Went on a trail ride with some friends and it was incredible! The horses were gorgeous, the trail was beautiful and Barbara was very helpful and informative! We felt safe and enjoyed every minute of it. It's been a few days and I can't stop telling people about how wonderful it was! They cater to ALL levels of horseback riding experience, even newbies, I trust them!

My husband and I went horseback riding here last weekend. We opted for the 2.5 hour tour through Black Rock Canyon, our guides Raina and Natalia were fantastic! As soon as we got back we already booked our next trek with them. I highly recommend them, they really love their horses and are knowledgeable at what they do.

We stayed a long weekend and were delighted with the bungalow, the quiet, the flora and fauna, the breath-taking views, and the hospitality of Natalia and Don. Sparkling accommodates. As a horse ranch, the owners offer guests horseback treks into Joshua Tree National Park. Next time for sure. Can't say enough about our experience. Will definitely come back. Rick Axsom, March 2019.

Guides were nice, the ride is gorgeous. Bathroom situation slightly awkward, no real guest bathroom. Springtime here was a great time to visit
