One day horseback trail rides consists of trail horse riding into our Cow Creek base mountain camp located in the majestic Lemhi Range of the Rocky Mountains. This 4 1/2 mile ride takes about 1 1/2 hours of mountain horseback riding to camp. Camp is nestled in a beautiful meadow with Cow Creek flowing down from the high mountain peaks. After savoring a delicious lunch riding the trails around camp, a little fishing, horse shoe throwing or relaxing by the cool water creek can be enjoyed before riding back to the trailhead toward the end of the day.

Another exciting option for our trail riding is a 1/2 day or full day horseback ride along the actual Lewis and Clark Expedition Trail. Click here for more information.
