Safety demonstration was super easy and we got comfortable quickly on our horses. My only two cons: First, I felt two hours was too long - this is my personal opinion. I was very sore by the end and I got a bit bored about halfway through. Second, it was pretty quiet the whole ride. There was no explanations or guiding, little to no conversation - which is definitely hard when you're in a line. For two hours, the silence just made it feel long. Overall, this was a great and unique experience and Bar W does a great job!

Absolutely Incredible Trail Ride!…read more This was hands-down one of the best horseback riding experiences I've ever had! Jaeli, our lead guide, was amazing--informative, calm, and so kind. She gave clear safety instructions with great explanations and focused on what to do for the best ride possible. Shelby, who rode in the back, was super supportive and made sure no one got left behind. The horses? Beautiful, well-cared-for, and each with their own personality. We loved learning that all the horses live in Montana year-round under the care of one dedicated owner who knows and loves them deeply. That kind of consistency and attention really stood out. The trail took us through peaceful backwoods and up to a ridge with stunning views. Jaeli even offered to snap photos of our group at the top--so thoughtful! At the end walking our horse we rode to get water was icing on the cake ~ best time talking to the horse and loving on him. It was a great send off ~ see the pictures!! If you're looking for a safe, scenic, and genuinely memorable trail ride--this is it! Highly recommend!

Join a time-honored tradition by going on one of our horseback rides in Glacier National Park. Over a hundred years ago, the Park's tourism industry began with visitors embarking on their adventure with the Great Northern Railroad. From the train depots, they spent days or weeks touring the park from horseback and staying in the magnificent lodges, quaint chalets, and rugged tent camps- all intentionally placed a day's horseback ride apart. Swan Mountain Outfitters is a family owned business dedicated to making our guided horseback tours the highlight of your Glacier National Park vacation. We invite you, your family and your friends to come and join us on a horseback adventure through this unspoiled and awe-inspiring national treasure.

The scenery was beautiful. It is not in glacier national Park, which was not a problem. However, the cowboy cookout was not exactly as I anticipated.

The salad and the beans were good. The corn on the cob was cold. The s'mores at the end over an open fire were yummy. We would go again, but would not do the dinner at the end.

Going into this trip I didn't know much, other than they had horses and that was what I wanted to do - ride horses. We arrived really early in the morning and was picked up at the airport, which was the size of a postage stamp. It was really easy to find our person, who grabbed our bags and loaded them into the trailer while we sat in the van. Met some others that were on the trip on the way to the lodge. Upon arrival they had a tent setup in the front where they greeted us, gave us a bag with a map of the property and list of that week's activities, told us our rooms weren't ready yet but they would find us when they were. Now - I'm going to note that they said they would find us when our room was ready and I didn't think they really would. We continued to check in to see when the room would be ready, but then later I saw them literally hunting someone down to give her keys - so they will indeed find you. When we checked in the room was a standard lodge room, we had a fridge but our friends didn't, in mentioning this in passing to the staff they brought them a fridge. Talk about service! We spent the next four days riding horses mostly, but also enjoying the company of the other guests and hearing stories from the staff. While we were really heavy on the horse rides we also enjoyed taking a tour of the elk preserve and clay sporting. We got a ride up to the yoga spot for a view (weren't too keen on hiking up there) and spent a good amount of time in the bar with fellow guests chatting up the staff. Everyone was amazing and so accommodating- I had said it was a bucket list trip but the staff at the Averill ranch has me seriously considering returning next year. Thank you for the memories.
