Get out your wranglers, hop on a horse and experience Summit County like a true Colorado native.  In Summit County, Colorado, there are hundreds of spectacular horseback riding trails and roads.  Horses played an integral role in the gold mining communities of the 19th century.  They were used for transportation, farming and mining related jobs.  Throughout the 20th century, and even today, horses are an important part of culture in Colorado. 

Horses will take you deep in to Summit County's wilderness.  You might ride around the Keystone or Breckenridge ski resorts.  Or you might ride into the Arapaho National Forest or the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area.  In a half-day ride, you'll be able to slowly climb up to an incredible mountain view.  You'll see fields blooming with delicate, colorful wildflowers.  You'll see pristine rivers raging down a ravine.  You might even ride up to an old gold mining sight!  Going into the mountains on a horseback ride enables you to cover more distance.  Also important is the unforgettable bond that you will form with your horse.
