If you’ve ever been horseback riding, you know how relaxing and fun it can be, especially when you’re trotting through some of Montana’s most stunning scenery. This summer, book a tour with Paintbrush Adventures and you can ride through the beautiful Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness for hours. And no worries if you’re not an equestrian – your tour will be completely guided.
Paintbrush Adventures is a licensed guided company owned by a 5th generation ranching family that loves Montana life.
Backcountry guide Wanda Wilcox and her family own The Barron Ranch. Wanda is a bit of a local celebrity -- she was recognized by the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, and there's even a documentary about her called 'Kinship With the Land'.
The ranch is located in the small town of Absarokee, which is where the guided horseback tours depart from.
Whether you've never been on the back of a horse or you're a regular rider, turning over the reigns to a professional and enjoying a relaxing guided hike will be a blast.
This is such a beautiful part of Montana, and there's no better way to see it.
Rates range from $40 for an hour to $110 for the Saddle to Paddle adventure.
Address: 86 North Stillwater Road, Absarokee, Montana, 59001
You can find out more about these guided horseback tours on the company’s website. And if you’re looking for fun things to do in the Treasure State this summer, try one of our suggested day trips.
