Setting out across the gorgeous plains backed up against towering mountain ranges on horseback is the quintessential Wyoming experience and one that should be on every visitor's bucket list.
Only a few activities remain that allow the experience to relive the authentic, Amercian Old West spirit and horseback riding is one of the best options. Several local outfitters throughout Wyoming offer a wide variety of horseback riding options from hourly, half-day or full-day rides to multi-day trips that can be combined with other activities such as hunting, fishing photography and cattle drives. There are private ranches, private and public arenas, local trails and areas of the backcountry that are accessible.
For a fantastic guest ranch experience, check out TA Ranch for a wild experience. Backed up with a warm, welcoming staff, they cater horseback rides to the individual parties, offer delicious food on site (pro tip: order the Bison Steak), and conveniently lodge visitors in rustic, but simple cabins that overlook the North Fork Crazy Woman Creek and the plains beyond.
