Bring your own horse, or sign up for a guided ride once you arrive - the Methow has no shortage of trails to meet your equestrian goals. Valley-bottom trails follow the Methow River and offer cool shade mid-summer, while higher elevation trails allow you to explore scenic vistas and alpine meadows.

Hour-long, half-day and full-day rides are available through a number of lodges and outfitters, and backcountry extended trips can be booked through outfitters. 

Early Winters Outfitters
Cascade Wilderness Outfitter

Sun Mountain Lodge also offers horse-drawn wagon rides and trailside “cowboy dinners” and “buckaroo breakfasts”.  Most guides have age/height restrictions for young children.

Several lodges offer corrals and services for riders traveling with their own horses:  Mazama Ranch House Inn, Central Reservations
