Horseback Riding
With an abundance of trails leading into the backcountry, Red Feather Lakes and the Poudre Canyon are itching to host your next horseback riding adventure. And if you didn’t bring your own horse, there are wonderful stables in the area ready to loan you one. Ranch stays are also popular, family friendly, locations to get a true taste of the real West.
