Our family took the two-hour ride and LOVED it! Simply beautiful views and scenery along the way. The guided ride took us near Deer Mountain and included some local lore and interesting facts of the mountain and it’s trees along the way. The ride is slow and very peaceful. Maddie was our guide who also recommended sights to see inside RMNP, as well as many great eateries in Estes Park. The trail was very dusty; I would wear a bandana.

We had a great ride and our guide was knowledgeable and very encouraging as this ride is very rocky. The horses are well cared for and sure-footed. I felt very confident in their ability and was able to enjoy the amazing view!
