Something Completely Different: Horseback Rides through Eagle River Canyon

Posted by by

When was your last horseback ride? Was it a nose-to-tail, hardly thrilling experience? Well, you can forget it. We’ll show you a horseback riding experience the way it was meant to be. Come explore a wild, wide-open country for the best Colorado horseback riding tours, right here in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We ride along the Eagle River and beyond.

Explore Stunning Scenery on Horseback

At Sage Outdoor Adventures, we explore big, wide-open spaces. These are not your typical horseback riding trails in Colorado. You can expect to ride through open meadows, aspen groves, stands of old-growth spruce forest, and along mountain lakes. Our horses are trained to ride side-by-side rather than in single-file formation. Here, you’re free to break from that routine and explore. This isn’t your usual trail ride!

Where most outfitters are limited to single-track Forest Service trails, we offer something completely different. Operating on a historic, private mountain ranch near Vail, Colorado, we get to explore 6,000 acres of spectacular Colorado scenery. The Ranch is the size of Vail Ski area, and it’s exclusive to our guests. Not only will you be able to break formation, but you’ll also have the place to yourself!

Eagle River Horseback Riding

The Base of Operations for Our Horseback Riding Trails in Colorado

Our base of operations on this incredible mountain provides the perfect summer home for our horses. There’s nothing quite like experiencing a beautiful new place on horseback, and our excellent wranglers will help make sure you feel comfortable and ready to enjoy it. We can accommodate riders of any ability level.

If you’re looking for fun things to do in Beaver Creek, Colorado – or Vail – know that this mountain retreat is perched above the Vail Valley and overlooks the Eagle River Canyon. In other words, it’s a quick drive from both Beaver Creek and Vail.

Plus, we offer free hotel pickup and two-hour rides that will have you back in time to enjoy the rest of your day.
