A popular mode of transportation in the Colorado outdoors is by horseback. For visitors looking for a truly western experience, commercial horseback outfitters in Buena Vista and Salida offer a range of options from short, one-hour guided horse trail trips to rigorous multi-day excursions.

Outfitters provide a choice of steeds for those who haven’t ridden as well as for more experienced equestrians. Those with horses who wish to visit the region can pick from a wide variety of trails and terrain. Stables are available and several bed and breakfast businesses will board your horse during your stay.
