Hour-long, half-day, and full-day rides are available through
a number of lodges and outfitters, and extended backcountry
trips can be booked through experienced local outfitters.
Bring your own horse or sign up for a guided
ride once you arrive – the Methow has no
shortage of trails to meet your equestrian
goals. Valley-bottom trails follow the Methow
River and offer cool shade mid-summer, while
higher-elevation trails allow you to explore
alpine meadows and enjoy scenic vistas.
There are a number of Methow Valley
outfitters that offer trails rides, chuck-
wagon breakfast outings, and even multi-day
backcountry excursions into remote wilderness
settings. Visit for a
list of local outfitters.
