Horseback Riding

Exploring the Rocky Mountains on horseback is like stepping back in time. 

Hundreds of miles of trails in the Pike National Forest are open to horses.  Mueller State Park has a trail ride operation and horse-friendly trails. Dome Rock State Wildlife Area has a variety of loop trails and parking for horse trailers.  Trails vary from wide, level roads to narrow singletrack paths that wind through the forest. 

There are several outfitters in the area that offer everything from one hour trail rides to all day rides.  Some even offer pack trips.  Following is a list of the local outfitters:

Golden Eagle Outfitters

Golden Eagle Outfitters is located approximately 3 miles northwest of Divide on County Road 512 off County Road 5.  The season runs Memorial Day through Labor Day.
