Horseback Riding

Horseback riding has gone from necessity to recreation. In the days of the Old West, horses provided valuable transportation. Today, horseback riding is often listed as one of the “fun” things to do in outdoor destinations such as Colorado’s mountain town of Salida. It is a wonderful way to explore the back country of Colorado and get a look at the high country beauty that would otherwise be missed. Chaffee County outfitters provide a number of opportunities for horseback riding–whether you just want to rent a horse, participate in a guided tour, go on a pack saddle hunting or fishing trip, or take an overnight trip. And, if you want to bring your own horse, there are accommodations to do that too! For those who opt to pair up with something-other-than-a-horse, why not try llama trekking? Yes, Salida has that as well…
