Horseback Ride at Rocky Mountain Outfitters
AdventureEasySpringSummerYear-round
Join a guided trail ride through the foothills of the Uinta National Forest to experience the valley's western heritage firsthand.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan to arrive at the Soldier Hollow stable location at least 20 minutes early to complete waivers and undergo a brief safety orientation.
- 2Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants to prevent chafing against the saddle and protection from trail brush.
- 3Book the 2-hour ride for the best balance of scenic valley overlooks without causing excessive physical fatigue for beginners.
- 4Bring a small, secure camera or phone with a neck strap, as you will want photos of the panoramic views over Deer Creek Reservoir.
- 5Apply sunscreen and bug spray before you mount, as the trail offers limited shade once you ascend into the higher foothills.
- 6Follow the GPS directions specifically for the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center to find the designated outfitter parking area.
