We saddle below the lodge most mornings, while the dew is still on the meadow and the horses are fresh. If you've never ridden, that's the most common thing we hear, and it's no trouble at all — we'll fit you to a calm one, show you how to sit and steer at the rail, and head out at a walk.
The loop runs out across the hay meadows, into the larch and lodgepole, and up to a bench where on a clear day you can see the Whitefish Range stacked against the sky and Glacier's peaks beyond. In July the beargrass is blooming white up there. We stop to breathe the horses, let you take it in, and turn for home.
These are the same trails the outfit works year-round, ridden slow enough to enjoy and honest enough to feel like the real thing — because it is.
