These days people hop in their cars and drive through the mountains to “experience” our western heritage and the wilderness and beauty of our mountains. But from a car window, how much can you really experience?
How about trying to experience our magnificent mountain areas in true western style – from the saddle of a horse?
Come up to Aspen for a true western fall vacation, and see the wonders of the seasonal change from our warm green mountain summers to our cooler, colorful mountain fall.

Try a new adventure by planning an outing on horseback with an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Experience Colorado like the early explorers did, when horses were the fastest way to get anywhere.

Choose from a list of local outfitters whose services range from beginning with the basics of safe horseback riding to practice rides, to learning about all things cowboy! Many even offer horseback experiences in true Aspen style, with gourmet picnic lunches, or meals prepared around a campfire. Most outfitting companies offer a smorgasbord of riding options, from quick day or ½ day rides, to packed multi-day adventures where you can really experience the cowboy lifestyle that Colorado is famous for. Popular with many outfitters are breakfast rides, lunch rides, or full on fancy dinner ride options.
