We rode for two hours through the woods on a mountain trail which was very scenic and a lot of fun. My horse " Bill " was wanting to blaze his own trail for much of the ride which made it fun for myself. My kids had a great time as it was their first real ride. Ralph and Pray were wonderful which made our experience just that much better. We would highly recommend this trip!

We had a great time on the Yellowstone River today with Walter Wiese! He was so patient with us and taught us so much. We enjoyed the amazing views and actually caught some fish thanks to Walter! We were compete beginners at fly fishing and they took us anyway! They provided everything we needed too. Thank you Parks Fly Shop and Walter Wiese!
