About

• For riders who have more experience in the saddle and/or have a big sense of adventure!!
• Ride climbs up to around 500-900 feet above the stables on rugged & technical trails. These trails are more physically demanding of the rider, considered adventurous & scenic. Parts of the trail ride along the edge of cliffs.
• Not for folks with a fear of heights or who are nervous about riding
• When your ride is done, you will have time to change from your riding boots & jeans to your shorts & sandals. Your river guide will meet you at the stables. Depending on the water level at the time of your trip, you will be navigating rafts or canoes for the second half of your day-long adventure.
• We ride horses AND mules!
• Please be sure to tip your horseback guide before you leave the stables & your river guide once you get off of the river, we are separate companies and all guides work for tips!
