A Day in the Life at Canyon Ranch Tucson’s Giddy Up

This October, Canyon Ranch Tucson’s guest-favorite Giddy Up event returns — a spirited blend of Western adventure and restorative wellness. Guests can expect idyllic fall weather in the Sonoran Desert, signature spa treatments, and cowgirl-inspired fun, all enhanced by a nightly $200 Spa & Fitness Credit and an additional $300 Health & Wellness Credit with stays of three nights or more.

From dawn to dusk, Giddy Up offers a dynamic mix of experiences, from trail rides and spa treatments to trunk shows, whiskey tastings, and a live performance from Kylie Morgan. Here’s how a day at this one-of-a-kind event unfolds:

10 a.m.-Noon | Trail Ride

Saddle up for a scenic, relaxing horseback ride through the desert. Immerse yourself in a landscape dotted with saguaros, prickly pear cacti, and Sonoran Desert wildlife.

1 p.m. | Chakra Balancing Massage

Between Western-inspired adventures, retreat to the spa for a holistic treatment featuring Ayurvedic Dosha-balancing oils applied to the body’s energy centers.

3 p.m. | VENN Collagen Facial

Keep your spa day going with a super-effective treatment featuring VENN® products that boost elasticity, even skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and more.

4 p.m. | Spirit of Agave: Tequila Tasting Experience

Dive into the history, growing process, and different varieties of tequila — North America's oldest distilled spirit, once sacred in Aztec culture and often linked to ritual ceremonies.

5–7:30 p.m. | Custom Hat Bar

Every cowgirl needs a hat! Each stay includes a $100 voucher for our Custom Hat Bar, where you can personalize a one-of-a-kind piece and complete your Western look.

5:30–7:30 p.m. | BBQ Night by the Flagstone Pool

As the sun sets, gather poolside for a festive Canyon Ranch barbecue featuring made-to-order proteins, fresh seasonal sides, music, and scenic desert views.

7:30–8:30 p.m. | Songs Under the Stars

Closing the evening, singer-songwriter Kylie Morgan takes the stage for an exclusive acoustic performance under the desert sky.
