The 2010 trail ride schedules and rates are listed below. Our policy is to charge the 2010 rate for the 2010 season, regardless of when the trail ride is booked. Rates are released in the spring of each year. In the event that you make a reservation before the new rates are released, you may have a balance due on your ride. The rates listed below do not include a tip for your wrangler, if you feel they deserve it. Please note: for all trips, guests must arrive at the times stated in the table to check in for their ride.
