Horseback & Yellowstone River Scenic Float
Description
Want the fun of riding and rafting in one easy day? Saddle up for an hour-long guided ride, then swap stirrups for paddles as you float six miles downriver. This streamlined Saddle & Paddle experience lets you savor both activities at a relaxed pace.
Begin your morning at a scenic ranch, where you’ll meet your guide and be paired with a well-trained horse. The hour-long ride takes you through rolling pastures and shaded forest trails with mountain vistas stretching in the distance. Feel the rhythm of your horse beneath you and breathe in the crisp, pine-scented air. Keep your eyes open—you might spot deer or grazing elk along the way.
After the ride, enjoy time to relax or gather with your group for a picnic lunch under a shady canopy (optional; pre-order required). It’s the perfect moment to unwind before heading to the river.
In the afternoon, trade your saddle for a raft and gear up for a six-mile scenic float down the Snake River. Drift past towering cottonwoods, rocky cliffs, and quiet riverbanks teeming with wildlife. Bald eagles, osprey, and moose are frequent visitors along this peaceful stretch of river. The float offers plenty of photo-worthy moments and a chance to relax and enjoy the gentle pull of the current.
Ideal for families and first-time adventurers, this combination of horseback riding and river floating delivers a fun, low-key day outdoors with lasting memories.
