With the new Brad Pitt movie about Jesse James coming out, a lot of people are interested in seeing where this notorious criminal hung out. Just outside of Las Vegas, you can ride the same trails that he took, see the desert as he saw it . . . not much has changed in the years since Jesse James rode here.

The Jesse James Horse Ride takes you on horseback through the Nevada desert, past deserted mines that once hummed with life and through the dry riverbed that probably served to quench the horseman´s thirst at some point in history. Now, the desert has claimed it.

You´ll enjoy a true cowboy breakfast before mounting up and riding out early and heading through a patch of fertile land where horses and cattle graze. Back in the day, this would have been a prime target for horse rustlers, but these days, the ranch serves as a hospice for old and abused animals.

The Jesse James Horse Ride is a wonderful way to see the land around Las Vegas and experience life the way it used to be.
