Grand Teton Horseback Riding

No trip to the Old West is complete without a horseback ride through Grand Teton National Park! We offer 1 and 2 hour horseback rides departing from Jackson Lake Lodge and Colter Bay Village, and 1 hour rides from Headwaters at Flagg Ranch. Beginners are welcome! Take in the beautiful vistas while riding among wildflower meadows and pristine lakes under the towering Teton peaks. Our wranglers will guide you along the trails while providing insight into the area's history, wildlife and flora.

Pony Rides
