  1. There are several different kinds of horseback riding lessons you can take, depending on where your interests in the sport lie. There are clinics devoted to every age group and include training for competition riding, lessons for the recreational rider, ranchers, and even classes on learning how to deal with problem horses.

  2. One of the best ways to really see the Grand Canyon is to take a Grand Canyon bus tour. That way, you can leave the driving to someone else, while you get to enjoy all the stupendous views and vistas around you.
