About

We take your horseback riding party on a fun-filled day of fishing on Willow Creek. The only way in is to walk or take a horse, this is way back in Willow Creek – you have the whole creek to yourself! We will have a guide with you, showing you the good spots to fish. This trailride takes place 100% in the Bridger Teton National Forest and makes a full loop, allowing you to experience new scenery and views throughout the entire ride. Lunch is in included and we provide your fishing gear. You need only bring your fishing license. People come back from this ride with smiles from ear to ear.

NOTE: A current Wyoming fishing license is required to be in your possession at all times. You can purchase one online before your trip. We will include a link to do so in your confirmation email.

You’ll experience beautiful mountain trails on horseback, winding through Douglas Firs, Lodge Pole Pine trees, Blue Sagebrush and Alpine Wildflowers. Riding along (and sometimes through) the crystal clear water flowing down Willow Creek toward the famous Snake River is sure to become a highlight from your visit to Jackson Hole.

Wildlife encounters are frequent and you ride through the natural habitat of the Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule Deer, Shiras Moose, Red Tailed Hawks and even our American Bald Eagle!

Lunch includes:

  • A big deli sandwich
  • Bag of chips
  • An apple (for you or your horse)
