If you're looking for a relaxing way to spend time with your family or desire a true wilderness backcountry adventure, guided horseback trips in Jackson Hole are one of the best ways to enjoy life in the Grand Tetons .

Jackson Hole & Grand Teton N.P. Visitor Guide

Horseback riding in jackson hole: the essentials.

E xplore beautiful horseback riding in Jackson Hole and connect to a Western heritage that dates back to the 19th century.  Ranches and outfitters in Jackson Hole offer a variety of horseback riding options to suit all ages, skills and desires.

Try gentle horseback riding introduction or choose from routes that splash along through creek beds, climb mountains, wind into the wilderness, ride to a fishing spot, or package a morning ride with an afternoon whitewater float!

Quick Facts

• Duration:  Choose from trail rides as short as 1 hour, up to a full-day or even overnight pack trips.
• Cost:  Many outfitters offer packages. 1-hour rides start around $70 per person with full-day rides nearing $300 including lunch and sometimes dinner. Overnights, fishing rides, and custom arrangements are available. Inquire directly for pricing.
• Where?  It's your call! Different outfitters specialize in different areas and types of rides. Ride just minutes from Teton Village, or further afield in the wilderness of the Gros Ventre, Hoback, or the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
• Ages:  Depends on the outfitter, though generally ages 6 and up. Some offer “lead arounds” for children under 8.
• Intensity:  Easy to moderate: your choice. Speak to your outfitter about choosing a ride suitable to your skill level, stamina and goals for the day. No experience is necessary.
• Highlights:  Discovering our beautiful valley from a saddle, just as the  original ranchers and homesteaders  did before you.

Best For...

Families and friends that want to explore together. Horseback riding can be a great way to level the fitness playing field and enable everyone to cover ground into the wild as a group. The well-mannered and mountain-trained horses make exploration easy, allowing you to travel further and see more than you would on foot. Not to mention the higher vantage point of being up on the saddle—there’s a reason cowboys ride horses!

What Are My Options?

Plentiful. Make sure to consider what region of Jackson Hole you’d like to explore, the ages of your group members and how much time you have to spend.

Try out a ride with Spring Creek Ranch which frames most of its rides against the backdrop of the Tetons, while Mill Iron Ranch offers a wide variety of rides out into the mountain trails of the wilderness and fishing streams. View majestic Snake River and Tetons on horse back with North Fork Trail Rides , for all levels from beginner riders to more experienced. Group sizes range from two to eight riders, Ages 6 years and up! Willow Creek Horseback rides  take place in the Bridger Teton National Forest, from 1 hour, 2 hour, 2 1/2 hour breakfast and lunch rides, 1/2 day, and full day guided fishing rides. Splash through crystal clear streams and view the spectacular mountain scenery from Willow Creek.

For a longer experience, trying “dudeing” at a guest ranch like Darwin Ranch, or  Flat Creek Ranch.  And unique to  Triangle X  guests enjoy the rare opportunity to ride within Grand Teton National Park. Depending on your choice, meals, fishing equipment, or an overnight camping experience may be included.

Live like the pioneers as you travel by covered wagon, ride horses, hike, and canoe. For those seeking a totally unique experience the Teton Wagon Train Adventure run by Bart T-5 wranglers offer a 4-day, 3-night adventure in the middle of the Teton Range. Experience is not necessary!

When's a good time to go?

As long as the weather is enjoyable, your trip will be, too. Remember to plan for the heat (and chill) of different parts of the day. Any summer day in Jackson will have great riding and many companies continue to offer trips into the changing foliage of early autumn.

RELATED STORY : Jackson Hole Weather Tips

What should I bring?

This will also depend on which type of trip you’re doing. In general, no sandals or flip flops and no backpacks. Wrangler guides recommend you wear long pants. Sunscreen and bug repellent is always helpful, and if you own a cowboy hat, this is the time to put it on!

The Last Word

Jackson Hole, as the Last of the Old West, is lucky to have options for horseback riding as varied as the nature where we ride. Learn how to ride a horse and direct it, or follow a wrangler as he or she guides you up exciting switchbacks and across narrow ridges. Whichever option entices, horseback riding in Jackson Hole promises a family-friendly trip you won’t forget with scenery to match.

The trail ride is beautiful and the people were very nice. The horses are well trained. My cowgirl was very knowledgeable and personable. You get some great views of the Tetons which was worth it.

– Trip Advisor Review

Really enjoyed horseback riding here. The people were very nice and their horses were beautiful and very gentle. Our guide was very talkative and informed about the area and the mountains. A professional photographer was present through out the ride and captured pictures that I will forever treasure. Highly recommend.

My daughter and I went on a trail ride at Jackson Hole Trail Rides on our last day in Wyoming. The horses were really sweet and our guide Tyler was nice and funny and made the ride really fun. We rode up the side of the mountain by the ski lifts and you could see for miles, it was so beautiful. When we go back to Jackson, we will be going back to Jackson Hole Trail Rides.

Wyoming Horseback Rides

Jackson Hole Horseback Riding Day Trips

Get a true taste of the Wild West by experiencing it on horseback at the Little Jennie Ranch! In the area of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, horseback riding is an adventure everyone can enjoy, and our knowledgeable guides will leave you loving this way of life. As a family-owned cattle ranch, we want to make you feel like family here with us whether it’s for a couple of hours or a week!

Join us for an elevated mountain meal during our horseback dinner ride or chuckwagon ride. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, our Little Jennie Ranch outfitters will give you a horseback riding adventure to remember for a lifetime!

5-6 Hour Trip

We have two different versions of a full day Wyoming horseback ride. Our traditional Full Day Ride takes folks into our historic camp and serves a grilled lunch. This ride is great for folks and families who want to come to see our 130-year-old historic cabin and enjoy the magnificent views and camp experience that we are known for. We serve Little Jennie Ranch beef burgers for lunch along with homemade sides.

Our other full day option takes folks on the trail all day and is best for a more experienced rider looking for more time in the saddle. With the full day on the trail, we provide a sack lunch and will plan on eating at a good stopping place along the way. This ride will take folks further into the Bridger-Teton National Forest to some special spots.

3.5 Hour Trip

If you’re looking for a quick trip into the Wyoming wilderness with a splash of history, our half-day horseback rides are for you. Our Half Day Ride is perfect for folks who are looking for a shorter day in the saddle, but still want to experience the vast views and wilderness with us here at the ranch. This is a great option for a shorter day trip from Jackson Hole.

Our half days provide a homemade snack and water in your saddle bag for a quick bite while on the trail. Although we don’t go to our historic cabin on a half-day ride, we will see some of the original homesteads on the ranch and provide plenty of history and information about the area. You’ll be able to take in the scenic views and spot elusive wildlife as we pass through mountain meadows, timbered forest lands, and meandering streams.

Dinner Ride

5.5-6 hour trip.

Are you looking for a truly unique dining experience in the Jackson Hole area? Then reserve one of our dinner horseback rides today!

A private dinner ride is a perfect experience for honeymooners, families, or retreats. On our dinner rides, you will have the cowgirls and cowboys of the Little Jennie there to tell you stories or maybe even play some music. Our dinner rides are also the perfect opportunity for visitors and locals alike to get away from the crowds and enjoy a hearty meal together.

Meet us at Little Jennie Ranch before we embark on a late afternoon ride into the Gros Ventre wilderness. After we arrive at our base camp, we’ll prepare a grilled dinner over the fire while you take in the evening atmosphere of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Once you’re all filled up, we’ll head back and enjoy a sunset horseback ride and have you home before dark. The whole experience is about 5.5-6 hours.

Expert Riding Experience with the Cowboys

We are able to provide individuals or small groups (no more than three people) who are interested in a genuine working ranch experience with the opportunity to come cowboy with us for the day. Before heading out to move cattle, it’s important that guests ride with us at least once so that we can gauge whether or not they are prepared. These rides are reserved for riders who have previous experience and are up for a big day. These trips are a privilege and are permitted at the discretion of the ranch owners.

Ride and Fly Fish

6 hour trip.

The perfect Wyoming experience for those who love to fish and are looking to experience mountain streams that are accessible mostly by horseback. We provide a packed lunch for you so you can get out on your fishing adventure. We provide the rod, flies, and instruction if you need them. This trip is best suited for folks who already have an interest in and love for fishing and want to incorporate some cowboy tricks into their trade. We utilize the incredible private water access that the Little Jennie Ranch has to the local creeks and streams. This is not only a private but very unique experience that is hot weather and water conditions dependent.

Chuckwagon Ride

Our Chuckwagon Ride is similar to our Dinner Ride, but we ride into camp in a horse-drawn wagon. Our chuckwagon dinners take small parties of 10-15 people into the wilderness to explore our area’s history and heritage. Our chuckwagons are perfect for anyone who can’t ride horses but wants a Western experience. It’s also fun for kids who aren’t ready to ride.

During the summer, we offer Thursday chuckwagon rides and special outings by reservation. A private chuckwagon ride is a perfect experience for honeymooners, families, or retreats in the Jackson Hole area. Our chuckwagon rides feature Little Jennie cowgirls and cowboys telling stories and playing music.

The Full Experience

Our knowledgeable and professional guides at Little Jennie Ranch come from all walks of life. From cowboy artists to outdoor educators, our guides love escaping to the wilderness to lead our horseback rides and to pass their historical insight on to you.

Here at Little Jennie Ranch, we own our own herd of seasoned, hard-working horses. That means we know our horses very well and care for them year-round. Our experienced guides will expertly match you to the perfect horse based on your skill set and personality.
