After signing up, I received instructions telling me that the pick up and drop off place was in the Bair Ranch parking lot. My ride was to start at 10:15 and still no sign of anyone. At 10:20 I walked to an obvious driveway for the ranch, where they provide a phone number, and gave them a call. It turns out they were not going to be picking me up, I had to get a code from them, and that would open the gate and then drive to the stables. When I got there, everyone was saddled up with helmets on waiting for me. It made me feel kind of bad because I know how it is when you’re ready to start a journey. No phone number was provided in my confirmation, so here is the number to the ranch-970-945-9773, in case you have questions before getting to the ranch. I’m not reducing my review because of this, and I don’t consider trip advisor guilty either, because they probably just posted what was giving them. I will be contacting trip to let them know of the extended directions. OK now for the ride. I thought it was pretty awesome – I was on a horse that I felt very comfortable with and the horses there were of different temperaments so for those of you who want a horse with some spark, it seems that they can provide that as well. There were a couple of horses there that gave their riders exactly what they were looking for. As one girl, put it, “this horse is just like me, can’t sit still, and wants to be the leader! “The guides were experienced and consistently looked at our equipment to make sure it was firm. The views were the best that I had ever seen on the trail ride. You didn’t have to wait for half the ride to get to the views, these views were there the minute I parked in the lot by the road stables. I highly recommend it and September was a good month for taking the ride. You are in the sun quite a bit, so if you don’t like the heat, keep that in mind and go at a time that will fit you. Have fun!loracoonce

Very laid-back atmosphere. Allison was great. Definitely for novice riders. Up and down the mountain in single file. Assistant Paul was a nice guy, but used lots of foul language and did some antics that weren’t smart around new riders.

Staff and guides were very informative, attentive, and friendly. Felt safe the entire time and truly had so much fun. Definitely will be returning to the ranch for their other activities they offer!

We had a wonderful trail ride. The guides were helpful and friendly. We are inexperienced riders, but we felt comfortable and confident with our horses after a short time. We saw beautiful scenery and wildflowers and a herd of elk with lots of young calves. The guides helped us keep a safe distance while still being able to see them. My kids have said they miss the horses they rode and we all made memories to last for a lifetime.Thomas K

A very relaxing way to see the beauty of the area. My guide, Taylor, was very knowledgeable and my horse, Kolona, was easy to ride. I would recommend this tour.
