Horseback Trail Ride

Saddle up and experience Montana the way it was meant to be seen – from the back of a horse. Just minutes from downtown Whitefish, the Bar W Guest Ranch sits at the base of Spencer Mountain, where miles of scenic trails wind through beautiful mountain terrain.

Your adventure begins when our experienced wranglers match you with one of The Bar W’s trusted mountain horses. After a brief orientation to help you feel comfortable and confident in the saddle, you’ll head out on the trail to take in sweeping views, fresh mountain air, and the timeless rhythm of horseback travel.

With knowledgeable guides, varied terrain, and a well-trained herd, every ride offers a memorable glimpse of Montana’s ranching heritage and natural beauty. Whether it’s your first time riding or you’re a seasoned guest in the saddle, this relaxed trail ride is the perfect way to slow down and soak in the landscape.

At the Bar W, safety and the care of our horses always come first, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both riders and horses alike.
