Bedroll and Breakfast
Overnight Trip Featuring Dinner and Breakfast
Our Bedroll and Breakfast overnight trail rides are an excellent opportunity to “dip your toe” into wilderness camping. Our cozy, historic cabin allows us to provide camping with a touch of class. We will meet in the afternoon at our trailhead and ride off away from the hectic rush of civilization. Riding this time of day will increase your chances of spotting wildlife on the way to your sumptuous meal. After dinner, sit around the fire and listen to the night sounds of the mountains, or cuddle up in a tipi or wall tent and soak up the stillness. In the morning, we will serve up our famous breakfast before we saddle up to head back.
