Reviewed By KelseyTee - Portland, United States

We had a wonderful ride around the Sawtooth Mountains. We took the 1.5 hour ride and the horses were gentle and an easy ride. I'm an experienced rider and my boyfriend is a beginner - we both had an incredible time. Chaz, our fearless leader, kept us entertained with stories about the route and local area. He also learned all of our names by the end of the ride. He was fun and helped make the trip awesome! Thanks Chaz! Definitely get a reservation - it was very busy. Highly recommend for beautiful views and a fun experience!
