Trail riding in Yellowstone National Park
While you are vacationing in Yellowstone you might consider taking a horseback ride in the park. There are stables in Yellowstone at Mammoth Hot Springs, as well as Roosevelt Lodge and Canyon. You would book these trail rides through Xanterra Parks and Recreation.
There are also independent outfitters in the areas around the park. It all depends on which entrance of the park you are at. I know that there are several outfitters in the Gardiner area as well as West Yellowstone and Jackson.
Generally speaking, you can book a one hour or a two-hour trail ride if all you want to do is take a short ride into the park. Please, do not overestimate your own abilities. If you are not accustomed to riding you may find that an hour on horseback is more than adequate for you.
Many of the outfitters also offer backcountry adventures in the park and these can last for as long as a week. It all depends on what you want, how comfortable you are being on horseback, and how much you enjoy the camping out experience.
Most of the independent outfitters will have their own website and I would highly recommend that you check them out on the Internet and then give them a call and see if what they are offering suits what you want.
