Rocky Mountain Travel Bear Hollow Trail Ride with Vail Stables
Horseback riding in Vail Colorado through the mountains is like being transported to another world, a world of breathtaking beauty and majesty. Our rides take you through a serene tapestry of nature—winding through forests of shimmering Aspens, lush green meadows, aromatic sagebrush flats, and towering lodgepole pines. Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking mountain vistas that make it all feel like a postcard come to life.
Tour details
The Dark Timber trail includes the Rocky Point and Bear Hollow trails, where giant cow parsnip crowds the path with its large, green leaves and delicate white flowers. Unique indigo monkshood blooms in special spots along the trail, and the wildflowers practically fight for space in the sunny areas. The trail climbs 1,000 feet in elevation before descending it all again, so you’ll get the full range of views—and a decent leg workout. Not up for it? The Rocky Point 1-hour ride still offers breathtaking scenery with much less of the climb.
