Active horseback trail rides

An Extraordinary Horseback Riding Experience: Driving a herd of horses 20 miles a day over varied terrain is a true adventure! It's probably the most exciting activity you've ever done on horseback. Lynn, Lana, and their family invite you to share in the work of cowboys by driving about 40 horses to their spring, summer, or fall pastures. You'll ride through an area of natural beauty home to abundant wildlife, including elk, bald eagles, coyotes, and marmots. In the morning, you'll wake up to the smell of fresh coffee brewing by the fire and hot cross buns sizzling on the griddle! Life couldn't be better! During the day, you round up the horses and drive them through desert canyons, exploring the fascinating countryside. At the end of the day, you'll return to camp. Dinner is prepared over a wood fire: a hot and delicious meal, new friends, and lots of stories and laughter about the day's adventures! You'll then be ready to retire in the evening to your tent or sleep under the stars if you wish; it's exhilarating!
If you're looking for an exciting adventure, this horseback riding trip is for you. Your accommodations are simple but pleasant, perfectly suited to this horseback riding trip. There is no electricity at the ranch, but all rooms and cabins are equipped with propane lighting. The hot outdoor shower is a major plus. On May trips, you'll herd 80 to 100 horses from winter to summer pastures. On all other dates, you'll herd 40 to 50 horses between summer and fall pastures.
