We are stoked to announce that horseback rides at Elk Point Lodge are back for Summer 2025!
We will have 1-, 2-, and 3-hour guided rides available with a great experienced outfitter. These adventures cater to riders* of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned equestrians.
Each ride will be led by knowledgeable guides who share insights about the region's history, flora, and fauna. The peaceful setting, combined with the rhythmic movement of the horses, create an unforgettable experience in one of Colorado's most picturesque locations.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As of now, our current offerings will be as follows:
1-Hour Ride: Perfect for families* or those new to horseback riding, this gentle trek takes you through lush pine forests and open meadows, offering a taste of the area's natural beauty.
2-Hour Ride: A more immersive experience, this ride leads deeper into the forest, where you'll encounter scenic overlooks, bubbling creeks, and a greater chance of spotting local wildlife such as deer, elk, and eagles.
3-Hour Ride: For the true adventurer, this extended journey winds through high mountain trails, offering breathtaking views of Vallecito Lake and the surrounding peaks. Riders experience a mix of wooded paths, open ridgelines, and hidden alpine meadows.
