Horseback Rides
|
|
|
Before
June, and before all of the snow has melted inthe Yellowstone Country,
the Halo Ranch Outfitters take their horseback rides
out on the Juniper Mountains in Western Fremont County. From June
until October these rides are conducted in the Yellowstone Country
including Island Park & West Yellowstone. |
The Tom Angell family of St. Anthony own the Halo Ranch Outfitters. | The snow stays on the ground much longer along the Continental Divide of Idaho & Montana than down in the valleys. Each spring, up until about the third week in May, the horseback rides are conducted on the Juniper Mountains, which are located just north of the St. Anthony Sand Dunes. Most of the deer, elk, and other wildlife that spend their summers and fall in Island Park, spend their winter and early spring on or near the Juniper Mountains! | Most of these field trips are for the Upper Valley secondary school science classes, but in the last few years, there has been an increasing demand for recreational type rides for different school clubs, scout groups, and other membership groups with advisors. These rides are guided, but a specific teaching area is not specified as they are with the science classes. Equine Merit badges are often worked on. |
Rates:
|
During
May and June, special group rates are available to scouts, church groups,
and other membership type groups. During July and August the rates are
the same as the regular rides, but special rides are available to fit
the needs and desires of the group. |

The history of the
area, especially for the past two hundred years, can be stressed,
according to the wishes and desires of the advisors.
Rides can actually be conducted that offer a little of everything that is related to the interests of the group.
