Activities and Events
Explore and play throughout the year around Southern Utah and Ruby's Inn.
Located in Southern Utah, Ruby’s Inn is nestled in a breathtaking region full of canyons, hoodoos, and red rock spires that nearly one million people visit and explore each year. Bryce Canyon's mild summers and enjoyable winters make it a great all-year-round recreational resort.
Ruby's Inn is known for the wide selection of activities available to their guests. Without a doubt, our most popular activity is guided horseback tours of the Bryce and Grand Staircase regions.
Rides are available for all ages and skill levels from beginner to expert. Our horseback tours wind through some of the most beautiful scenery that southern Utah has to offer. Come explore trails taken by old west outlaws and enjoy a rare chance to see remnants of ancient Native Americans.
Some trails are more rugged than others so for safety reasons we require that children must be at least 10 years old to participate.
Ruby's also offers one to three hour guided ATV tours. These shorter trips are a year round favorite.
For a slower paced off road adventure, mountain bike rentals are available for visitors to use as they explore the Bryce Canyon region. Trails abound for riders of all skill levels. If you prefer to explore by foot, we have information about hiking trails as well.
