About

If the half-day ride is just not enough horseback riding for you, try our full day adventure! This ride is not for the faint of heart, as we typically take you deep into the wilderness where you can really take in the sights that the Alpine Lakes has to offer. Rides average 5 to 6 hours and include the same great lunch you get on the half day ride.

Adventure Tips

Wear sturdy riding boots

Closed-toe boots with a heel help keep your feet secure in the stirrups and protect your feet along the trail.

Bring plenty of water

Stay hydrated throughout the 5-6 hour ride to maintain energy and comfort while on the trail.

Dress in layers

Mountain weather can change quickly, so layered clothing allows you to adjust to temperature fluctuations easily.
