Join a wild west horseback riding expedition with a local guide. See the area from atop your mount, just as the pioneers once did on the Emigrant Trail. Westward Ho! With a shout and a thirst for adventure. The beauty of the Sierra Range is legendary with high desert plateaus surrounded by snow capped peaks, dense sage brush contrasted by icy streams. The best way to enjoy this spectacular scenery is on horseback. Your horseback expedition begins with a complimentary shuttle pickup at any local hotel. Snacks and beverages will be provided for you en route to your destination. Your guide will set you up with a compatible ride and lead your group on a scenic tour at your pace.
