1. EVENING HORSEBACK RIDE

-or-
2. HAY WAGON RIDE

Daily, the Diamond 'P' Ranch offers a casual evening horseback ride, or for those who just want a true western experience, a hay wagon ride. These two rides are within the same time frame.

The ranch is located just two miles from the Continental Divide and seven miles from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The barns and corrals are only 500 yards from the Gallatin National Forest and the base of majestic Two Top Mountain! Views of mountains, meadows, and wooded hills dominate the landscape. The horseback ride is mainly in the low mountains.

SCHEDULE: Guests meet at the Diamond 'P' Ranch at 4:35 p.m. (or before). Release forms are signed, the guides provide a short course in horsemanship, and the guests and horses are matched according to their size and experience. The hay wagon guests will join in with the horseback riders in signing release forms and will be involved with the horsemanship course as well.

At approximately 5:00 p.m. the group rides up into the forested areas that surround the beautiful meadows of the ranch. There is no specific trail; the guide will take guests across the meadows, working their way over the streams and through the grazing cattle and horses as they travel into the forest land. The wildlife, wild flowers, and mountain streams make this adventure a memorable one.
As soon as the riders have headed for the mountains, those who have chosen the hay wagon ride climb on and follow an old historic stage coach trail up to the summit of a closeby hill. At this point, the wagon master, who has brought his guitar, becomes the sing-along director and will lead the group in a few of the old favorites like "Home on the Range", and "Over the River and Through the Woods".

Both groups try to be back at the barns by 7:00 p.m.

As the hay-wagon group travels they will listen to the wagon master tell Old Time Stories of the Pony Express, Stagecoach Lines and Indians.
