We stumbled upon this little rodeo/bbq place while staying in Island Park, Idaho during a 4…read moregeneration family vacation. We booked the rodeo for the last night of our stay and was so glad we did. Such nicely kept venue and it was most of our first rodeos. We are from Southern California, so this was such a treat for us! We found out that it is a horse riding camp for kids and the rodeo was their time to show off what they'd learned. We loved every minute of it! My 9 month old grandson squealed with delight seeing the horses and all who rode them. After the rodeo we enjoyed the best outdoor bbq!! Now, you need to know that my family prides ourselves at being foodies and we know our way around a bbq, and this was really a good one. Delicious!! The live music and dancing during and after dinner was such a treat as well! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a genuine rodeo experience.

Our family of 4 (parents and two 20-something's) booked an end-of-season trip to Yellowstone, and…read moreincluded an overnight rafting trip, and a horseback ride through the Flying Pig - we had a blast! Horsebackriding was fun up at Hells'-a-Roaring Ranch above Gardiner. The horses were all steady and kind, and the views were incredible. Our guide Mariette, was fun and had lots of experience and information about the area. The crew there is all friendly and helpful, and we picked a great day to do it for weather and visibility. It was walking (no trotting) only, but there was a large group, so it was understandable. The next day we embarked on our River camping trip. Jaxon from Flying Pig was our rafting guide, and incredible cook- he really knows the river and it was just the 4 of us, so we felt really spoiled having him all to ourselves. He was a wealth of knowledge about the park, the birds and the river itself. We even stopped to look for petrified wood at the inlet of a river while we ate our lunches. The overnight on the river was fun and rustic, a lovely campfire, hot showers (outdoor!), clean regular bathrooms, and large tent-cabins. The company provides cotton sleeping bag liners, but just a tip: Had i known that, i would have brought my own silk one! We played Corn-hole on the beach while Jax fired up the really amazing steak dinner. After breakfast the next morning, we had a leisurely float back, and saw quite a few eagles along the way. We really enjoyed our vacation to Yellowstone and The Flying Pig was a big part of that. Very helpful and great communication with the staff. Highly recommended.

Our group of 6 were all new to rafting. We had the best time ever!! Preston (our guide) set the bar…read morecrazy high for any future rafting trips, he was so fun and knowledgeable (he taught us all about rivers, wildlife, and other local attractions)! If we had more time we would have booked another full day trip and requested Preston just so we could hang out with him again. This experience turned us all into rafting aficionados! As an added bonus, we got to see a bald eagle take flight from a tree so that was cool too. Preston and our raft day made our entire Yellowstone Trip! You should ask your raft guide "Can pigs fly?" and see what happens! The only thing I wish I would've known (which I could've if I had called probably lol) is there is a bit of a tough walk down to get into the boats- but honestly 5 mins into the trip we forgot all about the trek because we were having such a great time. I'd recommend wearing all swim material clothes so that you dry quickly because even on a warm day the water can be chilly and the wind nippy. Having shorts/pants that aren't swim material will keep you cold and wet (dry fit doesn't work the same as swim material lol). If you don't have water shoes they have them available for you to borrow and they also had neoprene/wet suits but we didn't use them.

Well hello there, Harriman State Park. You were quite surprising, but I'm so glad we're friends…read morenow! I was in this part of Idaho on a long weekend trip, and though there are some incredible national parks within a few hours of driving distance, we also wanted to take in some of the local sights and hikes, and Harriman happened to be on the list. We loaded up a picnic and made our way there. I wasn't expecting it to be as large as it is, but when you drive in you get a sense for it. We stopped at the kiosk to pay our $5 entrance fee, and there are maps all over with a bit of info. I was with some veterans of the park, so we knew to head to the picnic area where there was a lot of parking and then a small system of walkways with lots of picnic tables. We selected ours, dug in, and enjoyed a lovely lunch with sandwiches, apples, and all the things you should pack when going out for the day. We didn't have as much time as we thought we would, so we were looking to take a short hike when the nice rangers pointed us to a small loop. The signage here is pretty great, and each map tells you which signpost you are standing at, and then you find its corresponding number on the map. We walked along a river, through the historic buildings (and cabins for rent, apparently) which were all closed due to pandemic concerns, and then cut back along the river to the lakeshore. The views here of the water were awesome, and we spent a few moments on the bridge getting great photos. It's a nice combo of history, nature, trees, well-defined paths, and lots of waterfowl and animals. It's the kind of place you can kind of choose your own adventure and do what you want. I wish we would have had more time to do all the hiking, but our little loop was really quite satisfying.

Brian was very informative and ensured we were comfortable and safe and went at our pace. He gave plenty of options and customized the tour to what we wanted to see and experience. He had all the right equipment (binoculars for everyone and his scope could pickup I ages far away and he videoed the animals so we could have them for later). We saw black bear, mountain goats, grizzly bears (w/cubs), grey wolf and a black wolf pack (and of course tons of bison). If you are wanting to see wildlife we highly recommend Tied to Nature.
