Durango Horseback Riding

Scenic trail rides, Old West cattle round-ups, wagon rides, and more.....Durango offers a wide range of horseback riding experiences for all ages and ability levels.  Whether you're an experienced horseman or woman looking to explore the surrounding mountains or a first timer wanting to take the kids on a fun adventure, there's no better way to see Southwestern Colorado than on the back of horse.

Numerous stables offer guided rides ranging from beginner to advanced, and local ranches can provide an even more in-depth experience, allowing guests to stay on site for multiple days and truly immerse in the rancher lifestyle.  Some trailrides include additions like dinner or live music, so be sure to explore your options before choosing your excursion.

For those seeking an equine adventure but not up for riding, a wagon ride, buggy ride or stagecoach ride might be the way to go.  Enjoy the majesty and strength of these incredible animals from a bit more distance while relaxing in a horsedrawn vehicle.  A driver and the horses will do all of the work while you can take in the surrounding scenery.

Visiting in the winter?  Horsedrawn sleighs offer a cozy and romantic experience that's perfect for families, couples, and more.
