Colorado Horseback Riding Adventures

By Heather Toms


The word Colorado conjures up mental pictures of ranches, the Rocky Mountains, skiing and the Mile High Stadium. You could have been to Colorado and seen some of its sights, but have you seen them on horseback?

If you haven't, you have missed on possibly the most marvellous way of taking in Colorado. The ideal way to absorb the full impact of the high-faluting Rocky Mountains is on horseback. Meander thru lush valleys, loll around spotless lakes and luxuriate in the snow-clad peaks as you work your way through an easy going lunch. Each part of Colorado has its own distinct feel, its own claim to unequalled beauty.

Ride thru non-public trails that are a part of a ranch of 1,000 acres, which in its turn is a state forest area. Skirt around still and cold county lakes or take an energizing splash thru them on horseback. There isn't any end to the tracks for riding: they lead you through the Rockies, the Rocky Mountain National Park and the Roosevelt National Forest. You are not finished yet; you keep on going through the White River State Forest and the Flat Tops Wilderness Area. You can arrange things so you are included in a cattle round up; you can get some hunting done while you are on your pony.

That isn't all. Once you are finished with the mountains and the reserves and parks, you continue to have the soulful environment of the Garden of the Gods. You'll be taken around by a real cowboy, who will point out especially wondrous sights to you before leading you to the Snakehead Rock, the Siamese Twins, the Kissing Camels and the Sleeping Giant in the Garden of the Gods park. If you have children of ages 2 to 7 in tow, it's easy to get them pony rides, and if it is their first horseback experience, they are going to be ecstatic incredible. You may also buy some genuine cowboy apparel and wear it also , if you get in the mood.

You can opt for plans that range all the way from one hour horseback rides to more intensive tours that take several days. These tours include luxurious accommodation in amazing landscapes. You won't get enough of the mountains, the forests and the brooks.

You can find Colorado horseback riding packages online, or you can get details from tour agents.

Before you decide on any tour, check out the limitations that apply, age restrictions, group size limitations or any additional requirements that must be noted. Do your booking and when the time comes, get packed and get going on one of the most extraordinary experiences of your life.

Incidentally, just in case your memories need some strengthening, it's a excellent idea naturally to take a camera or two along. In fact , one picture is worth one thousand words. The memories will be equally as sweet whether you go alone, as one of a pair, or as one of a family. You may also as part of an office group, a pals group or a group set up by any organisation you belong to. Colorado operators know all about folks with definitely zero pony experience, and these beginners will find themselves at the pleasant receiving end of the attention of some real professional instructors with some real gentle horses. When they're finished with the tour, they can count themselves among the ranks of accomplished horsemen.
