Ride the Real West

These rides pack a lot into a shorter stretch of trail.
Enough miles to feel it, enough time to slow down.

  • Our two-hour ride is fully private—just you, your group, and a wrangler guiding the way. No strangers, no rush, just space to soak it all in. The most affordable private ride in Aspen/Snowmass.

    It’s the only private ranch ride in the Roaring Fork Valley with wide-open views of Mt. Sopris, Hell Roaring, and Snowmass Mountain. You’ll ride across the serene land of the former St. Benedict’s Monastery and cross over to the historic McCabe Ranch, taking in some of the valley’s most breathtaking terrain. Perfect for couples, families, or friends looking for a quieter, more personal ride through Colorado’s high country.

  • Our 90-minute ride is a little different—in the best way. It’s the only ride we offer that’s not private, which makes it the perfect chance to meet fellow horse lovers and share the trail. Whether you're riding solo or with a partner, you’ll join a small group of kindred spirits for a relaxed, scenic ride through nature.

    And the views? Unreal. This is the only ranch ride in the Roaring Fork Valley with wide-open views of Mt. Sopris, Hell Roaring, and Snowmass Mountain. You'll ride across the vast, peaceful land of the former St. Benedict’s Monastery—an experience you won’t find anywhere else.

    Great conversation, beautiful scenery, and maybe a few new trail buddies? Yes, please.

A table set for a casual outdoor meal with four plates, each with napkins, utensils, and a package of tissues, on woven table mats.

Two red cups and two blue cups filled with ice are also on the table, which is made of rustic wood.

    This private two-hour ride is all about slowing down and enjoying good company…human and horse alike. After your time on the trail, you'll settle in for a picnic-style grazing box or a shareable board, perfect for kicking back and soaking in the views overlooking the corrals and Old Snowmass Valley.

    Boards include a delicious variety: cheeses, nuts, seasonal fruit (fresh or dried), pickled bites, jams or honey, and meats if you'd like. Prefer veggies? Our crudités boards come with crisp vegetables and classic hummus. We’re happy to accommodate food allergies—just let us know at checkout. Non-alcoholic seltzers and other refreshing drinks are included.

    Come ride, graze, and unwind with family, friends, and a few trusty steeds.
