Daily Trail Rides
Our expert wrangler will guide you on rides to nearby lakes and through pine forests. Gold Lake Stables is located in the Lakes Basin Recreation Area off of Gold Lake Highway and offers longer more scenic rides through much steeper terrain. Don’t forget your camera!
The Indian Springs Trail is a one & half hour ride that takes you by one of the many natural springs in the Lakes Basin. The Lakes Trail is a two & half hour ride that will show you 4 different lakes! The High Sierra Trail is a four & half hour ride that hits the PCT for a couple miles with spectacular views of 13 different lakes along the way! If you’re an experienced rider and want to squeeze in a few more lakes, the Back Country Loop is an all-day adventure where you can see as many as 16 different lakes.
Pack Trips
A horse packing trip is one of the oldest forms of transporting folks and their gear to remote mountain hideaways, and we guarantee it’s also the most fun! We feature four basic types of pack trips, but can arrange almost any trip you might want. Our horses cover about twelve miles daily allowing you plenty of time for fishing, relaxing around the campfire or just enjoying the mountains. Pack trips originate from our Gold Lake Pack Station. Trips can be scheduled from the end of July through September, weather permitting.
Spot Trip
Our expert guide will pack you, with your gear and food, to a prearranged camp spot. Once there, our guide will leave with all of the livestock and return to pack you out when you’re ready.
Deluxe All Expense Trip
Leave everything to us on our deluxe trip. We bring the cook, the food, and all the equipment, leaving you responsible for only your own gear. We do the cooking, we do all of the camp chores and we take care of the livestock. The only thing left for you to do is “have fun!” We camp right on the lake and there is easy access for fishing and swimming. There are lots of trails leading to other lakes that are great for hiking or we can saddle up and go on a ride during the day to explore more of the Sierra Nevada’s.
Custom Trips
Custom guided trips are designed to accommodate your special scheduling and destination requirements. Reservations are preferred, but we will work on the spur of the moment whenever possible. Rates will be dependent on trip design.
