Horseback Riding in Yellowstone National Park
Few experiences compare to exploring the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park on horseback. With Skyline Guest Ranch, you’ll ride deep into some of the park’s most remote and visually stunning landscapes, far from the crowds and into the wild heart of Yellowstone. Our private, full-day rides take you through vast valleys, along rugged ridgelines, and across meadows teeming with wildlife. Whether you’re hoping to spot bison and bears, capture breathtaking photos, or simply immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the park, these rides offer a truly unforgettable way to experience Yellowstone. Each location is unique and offers a different riding and sightseeing experience. The following is a list of some of our favorite places:
-
The Lamar Valley- Often called “America’s Serengeti,” Lamar Valley is one of Yellowstone’s most famous wildlife-viewing destinations. Ride through vast open grasslands where herds of bison roam freely, pronghorn antelope graze, and the call of coyotes echoes in the distance. This area is also prime territory for spotting wolves, bears, badgers, and other iconic Yellowstone wildlife, offering an unparalleled backcountry experience for nature lovers and photographers alike.
-
Specimen Ridge, Grand Canyon of Yellowstone- This is our most adventurous and breathtaking ride in Yellowstone National Park. Climb to 8,500 feet along Specimen Ridge, where sweeping views of the Lamar Valley stretch beneath you. From this elevated vantage point, take in a bird’s-eye view of the Yellowstone River carving through the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone—a sight few get to experience on horseback. With rugged terrain, soaring vistas, and opportunities to see elk, bighorn sheep, and other wildlife, this ride is perfect for thrill-seekers and those craving an unforgettable backcountry journey.
-
Stairway to Heaven, Pebble Creek Valley- This ride takes you on a stunning ascent over Barronette Peak’s switchbacks, rewarding you with panoramic views of untouched wilderness. Once over the pass, you’ll descend into Pebble Creek Valley, a hidden paradise of wildflower-filled meadows framed by towering peaks like Wolverine, Abiathar, and Cutoff Mountain. The quiet beauty of this valley makes it a prime location for spotting moose, as they graze among the willow-lined creeks. This ride is a peaceful escape into the wild, perfect for those looking to experience Yellowstone’s solitude and splendor.
Horseback Riding in the Beartooth Mountains
Experience Montana’s high country like never before. Ride your surefooted horse deep into the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, ascending to 10,000 feet in elevation. This challenging, high-adventure ride is designed for experienced riders or those ready to tackle steep, rugged trails in exchange for some of the most breathtaking scenery in the West. Along the way, you’ll traverse wildflower meadows, alpine lakes, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic mountain views that showcase Big Sky Country at its finest.
