Here are our favorite horse riding adventures in Colorado, from afternoon trail rides to multi-day pack trips. 🐴
Lucky for us, horse rides throughout the state venture to cool places — alongside southern Colorado’s wavy sandy dunes, through the forests in Rocky Mountain National Park, and along trails that lead to hidden waterfalls.
A horse rider follows a sandy path toward the dunes at Great Sand Dunes Park and Preserve. If you don’t have a horse, join a trip organized by nearby Zapata Ranch. Zapata Ranch “As you ride, you’ll feel the sand shifting beneath your horse’s hooves, and you’ll be completely immersed in the beauty and serenity of the natural landscape around you,” ranch manager Kate Matheson says.
Beginner-friendly horseback rides led by wranglers at Winding River Resort take visitors into the western side of Rocky Mountain National Park. Rocky Mountain National Park is not just Colorado’s most popular park; it was also the fourth-most-visited national park in the country in 2022, drawing more than 4.3 million people.
