Bighorn’s Equestrian Wonders
At TheHideout.com.
Discover the unmatched beauty and riding experience of Bighorn’s equestrian wonders. This is not your average trail ride—it’s a fully immersive horseback journey through one of the most geologically and visually stunning regions in North America. From the moment you settle into the saddle, you’ll understand why riders, photographers, nature lovers, and western enthusiasts return to this land again and again.
The Bighorn Mountains offer an extraordinary variety of landscapes, each with its own mood, challenge, and reward. Ride through alpine forests, open high plains, and red rock canyons, where the colors change with the sun. Climb above the treeline to experience pristine lakes and wind-carved granite ridges. These are not confined trails—they’re real, raw, and endlessly inspiring.
Elevations range from 4,200 feet in the valley floor to over 11,000 feet in the high country, with views that stretch for miles across untouched Wyoming wilderness. This incredible range creates trail options for every type of rider—from casual explorers to experienced horsemen and women seeking more technical, rewarding challenges.
But it’s not just about the terrain. It’s about the horse beneath you.
Our herd of over 100 well-trained horses, including Quarter Horses and Mustangs, are selected for temperament, strength, and intelligence. We take pride in matching each rider to the perfect partner—because at The Hideout, you don’t just ride a horse… you form a relationship with one.
Each ride is guided by seasoned wranglers who live here, ride here, and know every turn of the trail. You won’t be led in a line—you’ll be led into a story. Along the way, you’ll gain horsemanship insight, hear about the region’s natural history, and often witness wildlife including elk, deer, hawks, eagles, and even the occasional bear or moose in the distance.
Our riding program follows AH Horsemanship principles, promoting clear communication, mutual respect, and calm confidence between horse and rider. Whether you’re riding for an hour or a full day, the emphasis is always on connection, safety, and a meaningful experience.
And when the ride is done, the magic continues.
You’ll return to luxury cabins, chef-prepared meals, and a tranquil setting where the silence feels sacred. The mountains that tested you in the morning now frame your evening, as you relax under a sky full of stars.
That contrast between rugged adventure and refined comfort—is what defines The Hideout.
We don’t believe in manufactured experiences. We believe in natural luxury, where the beauty of the environment and the thoughtfulness of our hospitality speak for themselves. There are no crowds here, no tourist traps—just big country, big sky, and big heart.
