Exploring the Estes Park area’s scenic trails by horseback is an experience you won’t forget.  It’s been a favorite thing to do since early visitors started coming to the valley and going out on trail rides in the late 1800’s! Enjoy a trail ride whether or not you’re staying at a dude ranch.  Horseback riding near Estes Park on Rocky Mountain National Park trails is a wonderful way to view the wildlife and dramatic vistas.  Don’t be surprised if a herd of Elk grazes right next to you. Don’t worry if you’re abeginner – the local outfitters will match you with a horse for your level of riding experience, and you can always enjoy a shorter ride.
