Our small groups and diverse horseback riding areas illustrate the difference between a day riding head to tail with 20 other people, being led down the same old trail for 3-4 hours; or a great day searching and exploring Yellowstone, off the beaten trail.  Because of our excellent history of "low impact" horseback travel with Yellowstone's Backcountry Management, we are frequently given "special permission" to travel into seldom seen, off trail areas of Yellowstone.
