More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A saddle creaks, the air smells of pine sap and early-morning grass, and the valley opens ahead: this is the Bryans Flat View Horseback Ride. You leave the small pond behind—Ann’s Pond—where moose sometimes wade like slow-moving islands, then thread through stands of quaking aspen and lodgepole pine. Meadows flare with native wildflowers in season, and the trail climbs gently to a clearing with a straight-on view of Beaver and Cream Puff peaks.
