This was a wonderful and authentic experience with hosts whose families have been in the area since the mid 1800s. The horses are well trained and docile. It was our kiddo’s first horseback ride and she loved it. Tim gives direct feedback to the riders. He gave directions to the kids as he would his own grandkids. If you’re super sensitive or need lots of coddling then you may not appreciate him. I highly recommend this over highly commercialized outfitters who do the dog and pony show for city slickers.

Booked this after talking with owner, Cindy, who was very nice. Arrived day of horseback riding and was greeted by the other owner, Tim, who was very rude, abrupt and condescending! He treated everyone there for the ride like they were idiots. He and a helper, Riley, took us on our ride. Riley never said a word. Tim talked the entire time, making his opinions on politics, current events and Hollywood known. He pointed out a few scenery items, but mostly voiced his opinions on various current events. He continually barked orders at different riders as to what they were doing wrong. No one felt comfortable asking questions. All horses were very kid-friendly and had obviously been trail ridden a lot as they knew to just stay in a nose-to-tail line. The area was beautiful, but if given the chance again, I’d choose another outfitter.

Best experience The owners take great pride in their business and have the utmost regard for your safety. The horses are well taken care of and are so gentle.

They are the biggest joke of a so called outfitting Co. They my do a trail rides but not outfitting school. My son went there he had a list of gear we bought that he never used. Just saddled horses and took people riding. They also made fun of guest about weight behind there backs. It made my so very uncomfortable, so I told him to leave and come home early. They are not good people.

My family and I had a wonderful 2-hour horseback ride with Bear Paw Outfitters! Thank you to the friendly owners whose main priority was our safety. We even saw two moose during our ride! I would recommend this tour if you are looking for a leisurely ride in a beautiful area with a lot of wildlife.
