Horseback Riding in Park City

While the trails in Park City are full of runners and cyclists, horseback riders in Park City know that one of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful mountain vistas is from the seat of a saddle.

The horses stabled by Park City guides are kind, responsive, and emotional creatures. Plus, they love to go out on the mountain trails having made the journey countless times. Even if you have limited horseback riding experience, you can find a stable and tour that will allow you to get the most out of Park City’s spectacular terrain.

Red Pine Adventures, located just around the corner from Canyons Village, offers guided horseback rides all on Red Pine’s own privately owned land. Summer means you’ll get a whisk of cool mountain air from atop your horse and a great view of meadows full of wildflowers and sublime mountain peaks. You may even see a grazing deer or elk during your traverse through the wilderness.

 If you’re staying right in Park City, you also might want to try Destination Sports and Adventure. They’re known for their summertime fly fishing tours, and they have horseback riding adventures as well, ranging from one and a half to four hours in length. Take a ride through wooded trails under the shimmering dance of aspen leaves.

North Forty Escapes offers an authentic western horseback riding experience from the saddle of one of their friendly trail-savvy quarter horses. Riding the trail on horseback will give you an escape from the bustle of city life. Far away are the noisy highways, traffic, and congestion of the city, allowing you to relax and take in all the scenery.

Everyone can appreciate the landscape in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains. If you’d like a more exclusive and private tour of some of this land, Adventures at Stillman Ranch and Blue Sky Utah each have multiple thousand-acre plots for you to enjoy an afternoon ride. Adventures at Stillman Ranch keep horses for people of all skills and abilities. If you’re not comfortable being behind the reins, sit back in a wagon and let the guides deliver you to a barbecue dinner. Or, after your ride at Blue Sky, enjoy the fares the chefs have prepared with a three-course meal waiting for you upon arrival.
