Some morning and sunset rides even offer a rustic breakfast or dinner meal.
For adventurers seeking out a longer horseback riding trip, local guiding companies provide half day horseback rides or full day adventures. There are also overnight trips, some of which are multiple day trips that truly allow for an exploration the wilderness in and around Aspen.

For young children who may not be able to enjoy the longer wilderness rides, local guiding companies offer pony rides at the base of Buttermilk Mountain and at the Snowmass Village Rodeo Grounds.
