Enjoy a classic Western adventure — experience Yosemite and the Sierra National Forest on horseback!

Yosemite Trails Pack Station offers rides for beginners and advanced riders through some of the most beautiful riding terrain around. Ride through tall pines, along western wagon trails, on the banks of Big Creek, or among giant sequoias. All rides have stream crossings and varied terrain. Just a mile from Tenaya Lodge, horseback trail rides are available daily through the summer and fall (weather permitting). Weight and age limits apply.

It’s a great way to connect with nature the way John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt did, from the high saddle of a trusty Sierra steed.

Some of the guides are in their third generation of packing these trails from the same location. They know these woods! But lets let owners Larry and Nishma Knapp tell you about their rides themselves:

This promo is for Yosemite Trails Pack Station in Fish Camp California. They offer authentic horseback rides on trails that have been used for over 100 years. The horses are all from their working ranch in Chowchilla California where they have been bred, trained and used by real cowboys herding cattle. The horses are gentle and responsive. It's a beautiful ride in the Yosemite National Park, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.

In addition, just eight miles away in Wawona, the Big Trees Stables offers two-hour horse and mule rides around the Wawona Meadow Loop. Riders must be at least 7 years old and 44" (112cm) tall and no more than 225 pounds (102kg).
