WE LOVE FAMILIES! WE'LL ORGANIZE YOUR RIDES TO FIT YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS!

The  Diamond "P" Ranch is a historic ranch located just 2 miles over the Continental Divide, and (7) miles from West Yellowstone, Montana. click on:   Diamond "P" Ranch The guides saddle and mount their horses right at the ranch and the trips are all in Montana. MOUNTAIN HALF-DAY TRIP (morning)  $57.60 +$2.40 forest fees (Mount at 10:00 a.m.) These trips are the most beautiful rides in the world! The trails are steep, but not dangerous. We ride up onto the high mountain ridges and down into the deep ravines. We usually see wildlife and even in late summer there are still wild-flowers blooming up that high! These rides are fantastic!  We conduct our rides to satisfy the desires of our guests which include things like rate of travel.  In most cases, however, there will be some trotting on the morning rides.  MOUNTAIN HALF-DAY TRIP (afternoon)  $57.60 +$2.40 forest fees (Mount at 1:30 p.m.) Numerous different areas are offered on the afternoon trips. These areas range from high mountain steep trails to low mountain and meadow trails. They can follow the streams that flow down from the Continental Divide or they can travel back into the heavy forests. Because of the vast area, your guide will strive to give you the type of trip that you want, including how much time you actually want to spend in the saddle. The actual time on the afternoon ride is often a little longer, and we spend a little more time enjoying the beautiful country and taking pictures. During mid-summer, the livestock are sometimes moved from one grazing area to another; although infrequent, if the guests so desire, there are times that they will actually help move cattle.

Many choose to add the hay wagon ride and chuckwagon supper to this ride. click here for more details EVENING RIDE/ WAGON RIDE/CHUCK WAGON SUPPER $67.60 +$2.40 forest fees (Mount at 5:00 p.m.) The trailride starts at 5:00 p.m. and we try to be back by 7:00 p.m.   After getting back to the barn, guests will say good-bye to their horses, climb on a hay wagon and follow an old historic stage coach trail to the location of the chuck wagon supper wich is at the Yellowstone KOA's pavilion. (It's less than a mile) At times, if the guests so desire,  the guides will bring a guitar or accordian and everyone can sing a couple of the old favorites. After the chuck wagon supper, the guests will travel back to the ranch by hay wagon. click here for more details  FALL RIDE $57.60+2.40 Forest .fees The trips after Labor Day, are a totally different experience!  The mountainous area in which we conduct our fall rides is not as steep as some of our summer tours. The fall rides are ablaze with glorious color, the rapid, rushing water of many of the creeks has slowed and the streams are easy to cross.  We do not ride up on to the mountainous, shale rock peaks.  The boggy portions of the meadows have firmed up and the horse's footing is sound. We move at a slower pace, taking lots of time to take pictures.  This is the mating season of some of the areas wildlife; we'll even hear some of the mating calls on the fall rides. There is only one fall ride each day; it starts at 2:00 p.m. and is structured to fit the needs of the group.          The Halo 'A' Ranch, a beautiful ranch on the Middle Branch of the Fall River, is the home ranch for the Halo Ranch Outfitters. It's on the Idaho side of the Continental Divide. click on: Halo 'A' Ranch The guides and wranglers saddle the horses at the barn, and then trailer them to the many different trail heads. The majority of our trail heads are near the Juniper Mountains and high country ranges that compose the Idaho Fish and Game hunting unit #60. All rides are all-day excursions. The fantastic areas that we ride in are remote. The majority of the Halo Ranch rides are in the spring before the snow completely melts in the higher mountains of the Continental Divide.  These rides are very popular with the local schools.  Four of the Halo Ranch Outfitters are certified school teachers and two of these teachers actually have masters degrees in Biological Science!  Because of our teacher guides, biology field trips are also offered.  However, most of the schools just bring their students for an exciting, invigorating horseback ride.
