Gallop Into Family Fun: A Macdonald's Ranch Review on Horseback Riding Adventures • Our Woven Journey This review of MacDonald's Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona showcases what a fun family friendly activity horseback riding can be.

Beautiful blooms on a barrel cactus.

Did you know that these cacti are also called “Compass Barrel” because of their tendency to lean southwest?

Any guesses on what we have nicknamed this rare and beautiful cactus?

It is a fully segmented Saguaro and we call him “Bubble Bob”!

You can catch a glimpse of “Bubble Bob” on the 1 hour trail ride! 🌵

Have you seen the love birds that make our ranch their home?! ❤️

Precious lovebirds in Scottsdale! 😍 Thanks to Mark Koster for sharing this photo with us!
