Horseback Riding
Two guided trail rides are offered most days with the exception of an all day lunch ride on Fridays.
Our trail guides will match you to a horse based on your experience level.
The guides will have a briefing before the first ride of the week to make everyone feel more comfortable. During the briefing your guides will introduce you to your horse and get your saddle adjusted. Most of the rides are between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.
Trail rides are available for those six and older. The guides are happy to lead children under six around the corral. Riding lessons are available upon request.

Fishing
Cast a line for Rainbow, Cutthroat, and other native trout in streams only 50 yards from your cabin, or try our private lake. Row boats are available and are docked at the lake. Fly fishing is very popular in this area, especially on Loon Creek which runs right through the ranch. Licenses must be purchased prior to visiting the ranch. They can be purchased online at www.idfg.gov .
Intro to Fly Fishing basic instruction will be offered twice weekly on the front yard of the ranch. Our guides will help you learn to cast, tie basic knots and the components of the rod and reel.
If you are looking for the best fly fishing experience, let our staff show you some of the hot spots on Loon Creek. This can be arranged at the ranch or prior to your stay.

Swimming
The swimming pool is for our guests to enjoy. It is heated by solar tubing, but the cold evening temperatures keep it from getting too warm. The hot tub, however, is always warm and available for use anytime of the day or night. Star gazing from the hot tub is a favorite among guests.
