Enjoy Gorgeous Views on This Vail Trail Ride

The aspen trees tower above you, their leaves turning golden in the autumn sun. The sound of their rustling fills your ears, and it’s like a symphony, a song of the mountains that’s been sung for thousands of years.

As you ride through the forest, you can feel the earth moving beneath you, the rhythm of your horse’s gait in perfect harmony with the pulse of the mountains. It’s a dance, a dance that you and your horse know well, and it’s a dance that takes you higher and higher into the mountains.

And when you reach the summit, when you’re standing there atop the world, looking out at the breathtaking vistas that surround you, it’s like a religious experience. You feel connected to something greater than yourself, something that’s been here long before you were born and will be here long after you’re gone.

Riding a horse through the mountains, through the aspen trees, it’s like stepping back in time, a return to a simpler way of life. It’s a reminder of the beauty and power of nature, and it’s something that every cowboy should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Appropriate for all ages.  Parents, 5 yr olds usually do better than adults.  They can do it!!  Enjoy a scenic ride on mountainous terrain, with giant mountain views, and through a dense leafy-green Aspen forest we call The Enchanted Forest.   It is a sensory-filled Forest Bath that will leave you speechless!

On this scenic ride on the Bear Hollow trail along the babbling Spraddle Creek with an additional 30 minutes deeper and higher into what we call the Enchanted Forest, a giant Aspen glade.  You are are immersed in the Enchanted Forest of an Aspen glade with intensely white trunks and a leafy green canopy that changes color with the moving sun. Enjoy your “forest bathing” time, which reduces heart rate, blood pressure, stress hormones, and depression while boosting energy.

Enjoy scenic views of the Gore Range, Vail ski slopes, and Beaver Creek ski slopes as you ride on a friendly horse, led by your experience guide. Deer stare at the passersby with unblinking eyes, hiding their fawns in the thick, green underbrush as we ride by. Join us on a ride, and get in touch with nature!
