Welcome to Utah's Iconic Wild West
Providing year-round ethically based & environmentally friendly wild horse photography tours
The Onaqui Wild Horse HMA (herd management area) is located in the West Desert and encompasses 321 square miles just a short drive southwest from Salt Lake City, Utah. The picturesque valley extends from Johnson's Pass to Lookout Pass and offers background views of the Cedar Mountains, Stansbury Mountains and Simpson Mountains.
Private tours are provided year round to provide professional photographers and horse lovers alike a unique opportunity to find and capture images of these iconic wild horses. Tours are taylored to accomodate any photography skill level and a 4x4 vehicle is used to follow marked dirt roads leading to remote mountain and/or desert areas. (Driving off pre-established dirt roads is not permitted as it is very damaging to our fragile desert ecosystem and a fire hazard)
Guests will be provided with detailed information about the overall herds, band structure and individual horses. You'll learn their names, stories and what challenges they have and may still face. You'll also learn about wild horse behavior and how to read their body language, behaviors and interactions amongst themselves. For more specific range information click here.
