Jackson Hole: Bridger-Teton National Forest Horseback Ride

1. Jackson Hole: Bridger-Teton National Forest Horseback Ride

Join professional wranglers on a 2-hour or 4-hour horseback ride through the trails of Bridger-Teton National Forest on this tour from Jackson Hole. See stunning views of the Grand Teton mountain range and ride along a winding river. Start your adventure at one of the oldest dude ranches in the USA. Choose between a 2-hour ride or extend your wilderness adventure with a 4-hour tour. Meet your wrangler and guide, and get your riding gear.  Before heading to the trails, meet your friendly horse and learn how mount and dismount. Practice handling your horse with the reins and learn to control how fast your horse trots and how to stop, start, and steer. Take a test trot on the ranch property. Venture into the Aspen Tree Groves on horseback. Ride through the Bridger-Teton National Forest, looking for wildlife and local flora. Follow the horse trails and admire panoramic views of the Tetons.  Continue down into the Buffalo Valley to ride along a lazy river. Return to the ranch with a deeper connection to nature and an understanding of the Wild West.  When the wranglers load participants onto horses we will match the best horse for each rider for safety considerations we therefore can not allow you to pick horses. During the loading process we must take the time to care for the horses and make smaller groups of riders. Group sizes average approximately 10 riders and it can take over an hour to load all of the groups safely and care for the horses, so please be patient and expect this process to take some time. We appreciate your patience.

It was an amazing experience! Our guide, Ben was so informative about the area in general, rafting and the wildlife. We saw a lot of bald eagles and waterfowl. Even though we were hoping to see a moose, the scenery made up for it. We highly recommend this raft float and company.

White water rafting was awesome! Our guide was knowledgeable and experienced. Even my 7 and 8 year old had a blast! I would recommend this to anyone in the Jackson Hole area!

This was our first rafting experience and it was great. Our guide was sweet and knowledgeable. Also we saw Bald Eagles, otters, and Ospreys along the way.

Had an amazing time on the raft. It was the perfect mix of scenic and rapids. Loved it. Don't pass up this experience.

The guide was very knowledgeable to all the questions.
