Located near the little mountain town of Jasper, Horseshoe Canyon is a gorgeous spot near the Buffalo National River. One of the best things about Horseshoe Canyon is that it’s home to a retreat called Horseshoe Canyon Guest Ranch. The canyon itself is a world-renowned rock climbing site, and Horseshoe Canyon Guest Ranch offers guided climbing trips, but this dude ranch has so much more to offer that even acrophobics will be amazed and entertained for days. At this ranch you’ll find plenty of adventures while you explore one of the Natural State’s most unique and scenic areas. From horseback riding to canoeing to swimming to zip lines, this retreat is a guaranteed picture perfect time.

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch is located here.
