NATIONAL FOREST HORSEBACK RIDES
UNMATCHED WATER CROSSINGS
BEST RATES IN WESTERN WYOMING
Rockin’ M offers Targhee National Forest horseback trail rides easily accessible from Jackson Hole, Star Valley and Alpine, Wyoming areas. We pride ourselves in great trails, gentle horses, friendly, experienced professional guides, and smaller, more personable groups (not exceeding 8 unless requested). Our Salt River water crossings are unmatched! On our horseback rides, we often see deer, elk, moose, bald eagles, coyotes or other wildlife. Due to the private nature of our horse trails, we rarely see other people. From the same location, Rockin’ M also offers options for guided fly fishing float trips and combination horseback fishing trips. Let us entertain your whole family all at the same time!
