Horseback Riding - Equestrian

Packing Tips | Trail Tips

Horseback riding is a unique way to experience the backcountry--especially in western America. Many scenic areas in Intermountain Region can be experienced only by trail or off-trail riding. Special care must be taken to minimize your impact to the natural resources when using horses or other pack stock. Smaller parties mean less impact.

Before you go, contact the local Forest Service office for maps and regulations concerning campsites with stock facilities, any permits needed, campfire restrictions, party size limitation, available grazing sites, trail conditions, area closures, and more.

To prevent the introduction and/or spread of noxious weeds ALL stock feed must be certified weed- and seed-free in the National Forests of the Intermountain Region. Ask your local land managers about available grazing and restrictions, so you know how much supplemental feed to bring and where to camp.
