Things to be mindful of:

The temps will be cool in the morning and warm up so be sure to hydrate well the days leading up to the trip.

The trails in the area are very sensitive and we are thrilled to have received a permit to offer guided rides in this area. Please stay on the designated trail and be courteous to hikers and riders on horseback. We have been asked by the United States Forest Service to have a rider from their department join us on Friday. Please be mindful of staying on the trail, especially when that rider is with us.

We have a group of four on this tour and will have a second vehicle for transportation. We will have lunch out on the trail and will provide sandwiches and breakfast each day. Dinner is not included in the tour but we will all go as a group. We have an experienced group of riders so this tour should be a blast!
