Horseback Trail Riding Frequently Asked Questions...

What kind of horseback trail rides are available?

Horseback trail rides can vary according to your experience and expectations. Trail rides can vary from 1-2 hour loops around the City of Granite to all day excursions.

• The North Face Ride will take most of a day on an old logging road that is closed to motorized vehicles.
• The Granite Creek Trail, which goes down into the John Day Wilderness area, is also an easy day's ride.

In short, you can ride as hard as you wish or take it easy.

Do I have to go on a guided trail ride or can I ride out alone?

Your decision. It is big country and folks do get turned around on occasion; however, we will provide you with maps. Bring your GPS if you have one, but know that most ponies will find the way home when given their head.
