Where to Ride
Bearcat Stables has a variety of trips and rides. More advanced riders would enjoy their Backcountry Trail Ride that takes you on a 4 hour journey through beautiful Colorado terrain.
Close by to the Inn At Riverwalk, this is a great option for guests wanting to spend an hour or two riding. We recommend their sunset ride to Beano’s Cabin. They offer a range of ride options, and even have a pony ride for children.
Eagle Stables also has a variety of ride types through the Rocky Mountain landscape of The Vail Valley. Their longest ride is two hours long, but guests can call to discuss more customization options for a longer ride or special occasion.
