We all enjoyed the short wagon ride. You go through a big field and back up the road. Then the kids got to do a little horse back ride. They prepared a campfire dinner where we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. They also provided salad, fruit, drinks, chips. Nothing fancy but well prepared and kid friendly. The hosts were very kind and friendly, they answered all of our questions and were a joy to spend time with. It was a nice change during our vacation to get away from the lake for a few hours and see more of the real northern Idaho. Definitely recommend this activity!

He'll ensure your safety and gives plenty of opportunities for you to take a dive into the river. And if you really want he'll let you paddle as well. We encountered a bull moose, a cow and her calf which was pretty cool. Elijah also brought his German Shepard, Annie along for the ride too. She was the highlight. Such a beautiful, gentle, and intelligent dog.

We spoke to both the horse people and the owner of CDA adventures about getting a "rain check" and rescheduling. Both CDA Adventures and the horse people denied us. They wouldn't reschedule, refund nor partial refund. They gave no solutions, they just took our money. This was the supposed to be the first of many adventures we planned with CDA Adventures. But now we won't have any. Instead we've now removed "the middleman" and will be scheduling with these "adventure" companies directly.

It is NOT for the faint of heart. The trails are mostly narrow with steep drop-offs (ie no two tracks), but the horses handle it beautifully, and at the end of the day you will likely say "Wow!". The Schertenleib's were on time and ready to go as scheduled. The location is well-marked and easy to find using their instructions. They gave a short introduction for new riders, and pick the horses to match the riders ability and experience. The horses appeared to this newbie to be healthy and very well-trained. Blaze and Frankie were our mounts, and they were fantastic Rosie led the ride, which lasted ~4-1/2 hours roundtrip through very rugged and remote terrain. Temperatures were in the mid 90's which likely resulted in not seeing any wild game. Approximately 2/3 of the way through the ride there is a 20-30 minute rest time at a remote cabin (available for rent from the state). Anything you bring will be limited to whatever you can fit into a small saddlebag, so pack lightly. We highly recommend True West Trail Rides, and we are looking forward to riding with them again!

We consider ourselves to be at intermediate riding level so 2 hours of very slow riding was a bit boring after a while. This is absolutely perfect for beginners. If you're an advance rider you'll be bored. Horses were gentle and friendly. They were well groomed and appeared healthy. The ride is somewhat scenic. Most of the ride was through the forest trail . Our guide could be more personable. I didn't really care much for interacting with her. Also, horses are trained to be walking very close to one another which personally I didn't like. I prefer riding some distance away from the horse in front of me. My horse's head was almost in the butt of the horse in front of me.

It was so much fun to walk through the many different terrains on the different trails. We ended at the iconic bridge and played around in the river for a bit to cool down.

My only warning would be to make sure you bring water and watch it if you're allergic to bees because there were a lot of bees attracted to the water.
