Horseback Riding
-
Summer Recreation //
To experience the Rocky Mountains around Park City like the miners did when they founded the town, try exploring the area on horseback. Riding up the mountainsides and then down into the valleys, passing through the dense aspen trees and by the lush underbrush, you can imagine what the early years in the region were really like. Come to Park City and leave your car behind.
An easy way to bond with nature is to take a horseback ride through the surrounding countryside of Park City, Utah. On board your four-legged mode of transportation, you will be able to feel the wind in your hair, and breathe in the fresh mountain air. The pleasure of the solitude and the opportunity to reconnect with nature is a benefit of exploring aboard a horse – plus the horse is doing all the work.
You can arrange to take a horseback ride from one half hour to an hour, from one day to a horse-packing trip lasting several days. This is the way to truly experience the wilderness. Tours can go on public lands or on private trails. Lunch and dinner is served on some of the longer rides. Complete gear is available for the pack trips.
