Our 1/2 day ride is a more challenging mountainous ride, yet do-able for all levels of experience with the help of our expert wranglers. This ride is a three and a half to four hour ride with a 10 minute break (if needed) at the two hour point. This ride leaves daily at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. You will ride through open meadows as well as up and down hills of tall ponderosa pine trees and Colorado's famous Aspen trees. You will parallel the majestic Chalk Cliffs on Mt. Princeton and ride up to the Colorado Trail. Experienced riders are able to ride on a portion of the Colorado Trial overlooking the valley that goes to Saint Elmo.
The views are spectacular, don't forget your camera.
