Hunter Peak Ranch offered many activities for our family to participate in during our stay. One that our two teenagers enjoyed was the horseback riding on trails through the mountains outside of Yellowstone.
Lou Cary, owner of the ranch, took them out for a ride for about an hour. The cost was $27 per person the first hour and another smaller charge for additional hours. There was also a day trip available with a sack lunch provided for a set fee.
The horses were mild mannered for the children and Lou was patient with them because they were inexperienced riders. They took a leisurely trek through the trails around the ranch near the Clarkfork River and the surrounding hills. He shared desciptions of flora and fauna found in the area. (Bears and wolves are sometimes seen in this area.)
The children returned with a new respect for the horses, their guide, and the area they were staying in. Our son was so impressed that he asked to go back out with Lou later in the week without his sister coming along.
