Saddle Up for a Horseback Ride Details

Slow things down the old fashioned way with a guided horseback ride from Roosevelt Corral. These summer rides wind through sagebrush flats, wooded hillsides, creeks, and open valleys, offering a classic Yellowstone experience at a horse’s pace. The one hour ride travels through sagebrush along Garnet Hill, climbs for views of Pleasant Valley and Hellroaring Mountain, then loops back to the corral across the valley floor. The two hour ride ventures higher into the hills behind the corral, passing through meadows and forest along Lost Canyon and Lost Creek, circling Lost Lake, and emerging near the Petrified Tree before returning through Pleasant Valley. Riders must be at least 8 years old, at least 48 inches tall, weigh under 240 pounds, and understand English. Guests ages 8 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult 18 or older. Helmets are required for anyone under 18 and available for adults upon request. Closed toe shoes are required and long pants are recommended. Guests should arrive about 10 minutes early for check in, weighing, and safety procedures. Backpacks, purses, camera bags, bear spray, water bottles, and large cameras are not permitted on the ride. For the 2026 season, rides operate June 6 through September 7. The two hour ride departs at 8:45 am and returns around 11:30 am at a rate of 157.87 dollars. Morning one hour rides depart at 9:30 am and return around 11:00 am for 99.99 dollars. Afternoon one hour rides vary slightly by season, with departures around early afternoon and return roughly 90 minutes later. Taxes and fees are included. Departure location: Roosevelt Corrals, 105 Roosevelt Lodge Rd, Yellowstone, WY 82190. Guests not staying at Roosevelt Lodge should allow extra drive time due to park distances and traffic. Activities may be canceled due to severe weather, with full refunds provided.
