Horse trails around West Yellowstone

[foundation]

I'm trying to get some ideas about riding horses in Yellowstone or around the West Yellowstone area . I have been doing some research on line , and I know there is some special rules about riding in the park .

The riding group will have some women that are not interested in roughing it with a spike camp or taking pack horses . So I'm thinking camping around West Yellowstone and finding some trails that can be done in a day .

If any body has any trail names or places that I should see or avoid , I would be very interested . One last thing , we will be using our own horses and thinking around mid September . Thanks in advance .

I think I remember seeing signs that indicated horse trails in West yellowstone park. Why don't you contact the park service at West yellowstone. If there is horse trails, I would think they could provide maps and information on the trails.

Might also show you the best campground to stay at to access those trails.

HAHA , nice Rug . I had to find some women friends to ride with after I found out about the whole secret clubhouse thing .LOL

 

[PleaseDear]

The park has a boundqry trail that goes all the way around the prk.

Like the south boundary or west boundary....ect

It is about 6-8 ft wide and has signs all along it as Yellowstone NP.

We have followe it when we are going to catch an official YNP trail going in to fish a lake or something.
