Full Day
5-6 Hour Trip
We have two different versions of a full day. Our traditional Full Day Ride takes folks into our historic camp and serves a grilled lunch. This ride is great for folks and families who want to come to see our 130-year-old historic cabin and enjoy the magnificent views and camp experience that we are known for. We serve Little Jennie Ranch beef burgers for lunch along with homemade sides.
Our other full-day option takes folks on the trail all day and is best for a more experienced rider looking for more time in the saddle. With the full day on the trail, we provide a sack lunch and will plan on eating at a good stopping place along the way. This ride will take folks further into the Bridger-Teton National Forest to some special spots.
Half Day
3.5 Hour Trip
If you’re looking for a quick trip into the wilderness with a splash of history, our half-day horseback rides are for you. Our Half Day Ride is perfect for folks who are looking for a shorter day in the saddle, but still want to experience the vast views and wilderness with us here at the ranch.
Our full days provide a homemade snack and water in your saddle bag for a quick bite while on the trail. Although we don’t go to our historic cabin on a half-day ride, we will see some of the original homesteads on the ranch and provide plenty of history and information about the area. You’ll be able to take in the scenic views and spot elusive wildlife as we pass through mountain meadows, timbered forest lands, and meandering streams.
Dinner Ride
5.5-6 Hour Trip
Are you looking for a truly unique dining experience in the Jackson Hole area? Then reserve one of our dinner horseback rides today!
A private dinner ride is a perfect experience for honeymooners, families, or retreats. On our dinner rides, you will have the cowgirls and cowboys of the Little Jennie there to tell you stories or maybe even play some music. Our dinner rides are also the perfect opportunity for visitors and locals alike to get away from the crowds and enjoy a hearty meal together.
Meet us at Little Jennie Ranch before we embark on a late afternoon ride into the Gros Ventre wilderness. After we arrive at our base camp, we’ll prepare a grilled dinner over the fire while you take in the evening atmosphere of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Once you’re all filled up, we’ll head back and enjoy a sunset horseback ride and have you home before dark. The whole experience is about 5.5-6 hours.
Chuckwagon Ride
5.5-6 Hour Trip
Our Chuckwagon Ride is similar to our Dinner Ride, but we ride into camp in a horse-drawn wagon. Our chuckwagon dinners take small parties of 10-15 people into the wilderness to explore our area’s history and heritage. Our chuckwagons are perfect for anyone who can’t ride horses but wants a Western experience. It’s also fun for kids who aren’t ready to ride.
During the summer, we offer Thursday chuckwagon rides and special outings by reservation. A private chuckwagon ride is a perfect experience for honeymooners, families, or retreats. Our chuckwagon rides feature Little Jennie cowgirls and cowboys telling stories and playing music.
Ride and Fly Fish
6 Hour Trip
The perfect experience for those who love to fish and are looking to experience mountain streams that are accessible mostly by horseback. We provide a packed lunch for you so you can get out on your fishing adventure. We provide the rod, flies, and instruction if you need them. This trip is best suited for folks who already have an interest in and love for fishing and want to incorporate some cowboy tricks into their trade. We utilize the incredible access that the Little Jennie Ranch has to the local creeks and streams. This is not only a private but very unique experience that is hot weather and water conditions dependent.
Expert Riding Experience with the Cowboys
We are able to provide individuals or small groups (no more than three people) who are interested in a genuine working ranch experience with the opportunity to come cowboy with us for the day. Before heading out to move cattle, it’s important that guests ride with us at least once so that we can gauge whether or not they are prepared. These rides are reserved for riders who have previous experience and are up for a big day. These trips are a privilege and are permitted at the discretion of the ranch owners.
The Full Experience
The Team
Our knowledgeable and professional guides at Little Jennie Ranch come from all walks of life. From cowboy artists to outdoor educators, our guides love escaping to the wilderness to lead our horseback rides and to pass their historical insight on to you.
The Horses
Here at Little Jennie Ranch, we own our own herd of seasoned, hard-working horses. That means we know our horses very well and care for them year-round. Our experienced guides will expertly match you to the perfect horse based on your skill set and personality.
The Camp
Let us take you to our secluded, 120-plus-year-old historic Craig Cabin located at our Jack Creek Camp. We cook on our wood stove and sit around a fire and tell the stories of the trappers, miners, cowboys, Native Americans, and adventurers that came before us. Camp is the perfect way to get away from it all!
