"I had so much fun riding Crow on the 2 hour ride, beautiful views and awesome trails. Everyone I met on the ranch was incredible, including my guide Oakley (who took the best pictures for me too)! They did a great job explaining everything and had happy and healthy horses, would 10000% go back it was worth every penny! 2 hour ride was perfect amount of time as well and no one in my group had any problems with their horses. Definitely want to come back for a winter ride! Make sure to bring cash to tip your guides, wish I could’ve tipped you more Oakley!!"

"I definitely recommend this ranch for the horseback riding. I did the 2 hour ride and it was so beautiful.....going Thursday the Aspens and beautiful fields. The views were breathtaking. The guides were very concerned about safety and helpful making everyone feel great about the ride. I would go back to ride again as well as to try the buggies too. The winter would be my next choice for the horseback riding too. Definitely worth the price....the quality experience was perfect."
