We offer a variety of trail ride experiences, a 3-4 hour Cattle Drive and our all-in-one Saddle&Paddle activity providing the opportunity to ride and raft all in one day! We are centrally located to several top Colorado resorts. We are about an hour from Breckenridge, Steamboat and Winter Park, so wherever you stay you can easily enjoy a ride with us.

Reviewed By HJFHJS - Flower Mound, United States

We booked the 3 hour ride and it was just the guide Pete, and my family of 4. Pete was extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. The 3 hour takes you over a ridge into a lovely area the 2 hour doesn’t reach. We went in June the the mosquitoes were bad in some areas of the ride, so spray your entire body, not just your exposed skin as they bite thru clothing. Having a saddlebag to carry a camera, water and bug spray was great.

We had such an amazing time trying out the adventure quest ropes course. Igor helped make our whole experience top notch by explaining things in detail, giving encouragement and help when needed along the course, and creating a fun, easy going experience for each member in our family. Our ten year old loved trying the different obstacle courses and our twin seven years olds loved pushing themselves to follow along. Plus, the view from the different levels was beautiful! This was a great experience for our whole family and we highly recommend that families take the time to do this activity together!

We came back after 4 years to give this place another go, only for 2 days, and we had a blast. Kids went to ski school to improve their skills while we cruised mostly the green runs. It is a well organised place and relatively easy to book lift tickets, gear and lessons online. Hope we can return in the future.
