Our beautiful trails provide a variety of mountain views, from deep forest to panoramic settings overlooking the Rocky Mountain region. These can include glimpses of Colorado Springs and the far prairies, while surrounded by mountain peaks.

Your knowledgeable guide will escort you while entertaining you with tales of the old west, local lore, and observations about the flora and fauna, all while insuring your comfort and safety. Along the trail you may see wildlife, wildflowers, mushrooms, crystal clear creeks and spectacular aspen groves.

Our one hour ride is on the easiest trail, suitable for any ability of rider, while still providing a variety of scenic views as you travel up and down switch backs.

We also offer longer rides, one climbing another 800 feet past old mining claims. 

Attention!  November through April can be snowy or icy and we only operate if trails and the roads are safe.  Please call directly for reservations if you want to hold horses without advance payment.
