About

This will prove to be one of the most beautiful starts to any morning you’ve ever experienced. We’ll ride from Willow Creek headquarters to Ann’s Pond, and continuing through Moose Meadow to our beautiful breakfast location (breakfast included). 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.

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!

Note: On days when Moose Meadow trail conditions are poor due to recent rainfall, we will travel to the Enchanted Forest for breakfast.

Breakfast includes:

• A hearty yogurt parfait
• A freshly made muffin
• An apple (for you or your horse)
• Plenty of water
