Hop into the saddle, take the reins, and traverse the trails of Paradise Valley in true Western fashion atop one of our gentle horses. Follow the lead of our equestrian adventure as we take you to a true hidden gem – Chimney Rock – and enjoy a plethora of beautiful mountain views. Once you arrive, take a break and behold this giant piece of rock that rests at an elevation of 7,650 feet and overlooks three different mountain ranges: the Absaroka, the Bridger and the Gallatin ranges. As we set out for our return, prepare yourself (and your camera) for another opportunity to soak in the stunning scenery that makes our ranch so special. *After meeting staff at Erik’s Ranch, you’ll follow them in your vehicle for a scenic 20-minute drive to the trailhead. The trail itself winds through private land and remote trails rarely seen by the public. A high-clearance, AWD or 4WD vehicle is recommended to access the trailhead.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids to join the Chimney Rock Trail Ride?

A: Kids as young as 8 can join the ride, but they need to be comfortable on a horse. The staff at Erik's Ranch are really great with kids, so if you think your child can handle it, they'll be in good hands. Just make sure they wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes!

Q: Is there a chance the ride could be canceled due to weather?

A: Yes, weather can definitely affect the ride. If conditions are too severe, like heavy rain or snow, they will reschedule. It’s best to keep an eye on the forecast as the day approaches. Erik's Ranch is pretty good about notifying you if there are any changes.

Q: Do I need special shoes for the Chimney Rock Trail Ride?

A: It's recommended to wear closed-toed shoes, preferably with a bit of a heel to help stay in the stirrups. I wore my hiking boots and they were perfect! Just make sure whatever you wear is comfortable since you'll be in the saddle for a while.

Thinking about gifting the Chimney Rock Trail Ride, any thoughts?

I’m considering getting the Chimney Rock Trail Ride for my sister's birthday. She loves horses and the mountains, so this seems like a perfect fit! The views sound incredible and the whole experience seems really unique. Has anyone done this ride? How was it in terms of difficulty and scenery?

Chimney Rock Trail Ride - Worth it?

I’m curious if the Chimney Rock Trail Ride is worth the price. I found it listed as free, which seems a bit odd. Is that accurate? What should I expect? Thinking of booking this for myself and my partner.
