Trail Rides

Our riding program is based on developing your riding skills. We do this by separating our guests by age and riding skill whenever possible, then matching them up with one of our experienced horses. Each day we offer six regularly scheduled rides organized by skill level; beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Our rides vary in length; one hour, two hour, half-day, all-day, or overnight. Lessons are also available.

Every trail ride is through the magnificent and rugged Taylor Canyon and into the Fossil Ridge Wilderness area on some of the same trails used over one hundred years ago by the original pioneers.

This is the best place to learn all about riding the trails of the "Gunnison Country" on horseback. The beginner trail rides cover horse handling while you learn to work your horse walking over flat, easy trails with little change in elevation. Even if you have never been on a horse before, our wranglers will help you to feel comfortable and relaxed as you enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The intermediate skill level trail rides focus on riding across water and up and down some steeper slopes. This is an excellent opportunity for you to polish your cowboy skills and get comfortable with your horse.

The advanced ride highlights various riding gates, off-trail riding, and extreme changes in elevation. The true wilderness riding experience, down through the high parks and along the game trails through the most beautiful part of the Colorado Rockies.
