It’s been a busy summer of horseback riding in the Grand Tetons, from fabulous sunny days with clear views of crags and peaks, and lush candy-colored wildflower meadows, to three days of thunder showers. You can’t have sunshine every day, but when it rains there is something magical about riding in the clouds, and above the clouds.
Tucked in behind the steep east side of Green Mountain is Green Lake, another of our favorite Grand Teton horseback riding trails. The trail leading to this high mountain lake begins on a densely vegetated slope, where snowberry and serviceberry are just beginning to bloom. Later in summer huckleberries will be ripe for picking.
We all have spring fever here at Dry Ridge Outfitters! Springbeauties are blooming as fast as the snow melts, the horses are fattening on green grass, and Kevin and I are itching to saddle up for a ride into the backcountry.
In the meantime, we’ll be sharing blogs on our top 5 favorite Idaho Horseback Rides, as we start planning for another spectacular summer in the Tetons. We hope you’ll check back to see them all.
A Teton horseback riding outfitting business is very rewarding. Kevin and I have been very blessed over the last 16 years. We have met some really special people. Horseback riding in the Grand Tetons packs every moment with memories that will last a lifetime. Along with these memories come special friendships that will fill eternity.
VARIETY, people say, is the spice of life! I’d like to spend the winter sharing some of my favorite 2013 Horseback riding in Idaho experiences. I hope my readers will agree that Idaho and Wyoming offer some of the most scenic horseback trails in the United States.
