My mother and I recently went to Hell's A-Roarin and we had a blast! When we first walked in the…read moreranch, we were greeted by four friendly dogs. There were also a plethora of horses in their stables and baby horses. The wranglers were hospitable and gave us forms to sign which gave us an overview of what horseback riding rules and safety regulations. As we were guided to our horses, they introduced us to them and told us how to control our horses. At first, I was skeptical because there was no harness involved and I felt that I was gonna fall off. But as we continued riding, I felt much more relaxed and confident in controlling my horse. We were riding in the hills and saw beautiful scenery. It was my very first time riding a horse and I truly loved every bit of it!

I will be returning with the whole family and hopefully booking an overnight adventure soon. I like to take horse rides wherever I travel to (if it is accommodating to do so) and this was absolutely one the best experiences I have ever had!! This ranch and experience felt special, careful, and I felt personally cared for. Couldn't recommend more!!

The primary camp is in a designated Wilderness Area: Picture Yellowstone without the roads, trail markers, rangers, vehicles, power lines, crowds. Our team was completely prepared to get us into and out of the woods safely on horseback, and to help us enjoy the backcountry. The scenery was unmatched and the fishing was fantastic. Hellroaring Creek is crowded with Yellowstone cutthroat that get very little pressure and are a blast to fish on dry flies. The growing season is brief at that elevation, so those fish want to eat. The stream is adjacent to camp, so there is no traveling or waiting on fishing days, except for waiting for the mornings to warm up. The water is varied enough to keep anyone entertained, and the fish stay busy. We were very impressed by the comfort and organization in the camps, the beautiful setting, the help on travel days, and the excellent food. We would be excited to travel with Cameron and the crew from ABO again.

He is very informative and made his explanation so understandable for my 5 yr-old. On top of that he was answering 1000 questions from my son, and super patient with the kids. On our way back, we got Nisha as our driver. She was fun and very playful with the kids. Actually both Nisha and her brother, driver to the river, are interesting to talk to, but we were too excited and forgot to ask his name. Thank you guys for such a great experience

Check in and directions were easy and every single person was delightful. Once we made our way up to the horseback riding ranch we were ready to ride. It was fun. However the guides for at the ranch were not very friendly. They did not really give great instructions prior to riding. There were several inexperienced riders who could have benefited from a few extra minutes of support and directions. Another negative was the group of riders was way too large. They should break up the large groups into smaller ones. Our group had over 30ppl. Got separated from my spouse during horse selection. It was chaos. They should consider breaking the groups up into experience and who cam together. Felt bad my spouse was chosen last and I had been on my horse for a good 10 minutes. Overall I would not suggest this portion of the tour unless they committed to making groups smaller and more interactive with guides. They didnt really talk to us or give and local facts or interesting things about the area. Disappointing. The older lady at the ranch also got sparky when I asked if I could take my water with me. Her response "why do you need water it's only a hour ride, jeez just grab a saddle bag I guess. Just rude. Then when getting off the horse she was smacking it in the face while I was still on it. Just not the greatest experience.

Our group had a six year old and he was so accommodating, taught him the ropes and let him guide us when the water was smooth, he really enjoyed that! We did get some excitement (and a taste of reality); we helped the other raft in our group collect some paddles after "The Boat Eater" got them. Our guides and the safety guide moved into action fast and demonstrated an amazing team effort. The river has some great spots, nothing too extreme, though our Canadian friends may say otherwise and a lot of smooth, easy areas. Lunch was good, just some easy sandwiches and snacks. I liked that wet suits, jackets, and water shoes were included, they definitely came in handy. Pictures are available for a reasonable price. Overall, would definitely recommend YRC anytime!!
