Sweater weather is on its way, and by now, you should be getting excited. Of course, we all love the fall season for the cooler temperatures, which makes it perfect for some outdoor activities. One of the best pastime activities in autumn is to take a gorgeous fall foliage trail ride on horseback. And luckily, Arkansas has the perfect dude ranch to welcome the season.
Nestled at the foothills of the Ozarks in the charming town of Jasper is Horseshoe Canyon Ranch.
And this 640-acre property is the perfect location to see some of the most gorgeous fall foliage trails in Arkansas.
This family-owned and operated ranch boasts 13 rustic log cabins with modern amenities as well as sweeping views of the mountains.
Additionally, the ranch offers family-friendly activities including rock climbing, ziplining, target shooting, hiking, fishing, swimming, and more.
But of course, horseback riding is the main attraction.
As part of your all-inclusive stay, the ranch offers guided rides on the equestrian trails in the Ozarks. If you’re a beginner or an expert level rider, there is a trail perfect for you.
Riders must be 6 years old to qualify for the trails, but there are lots of riding programs for the younger kids.
If you’ve never experienced a fall foliage trail ride on horseback, then you must add Horseshoe Canyon to your bucket list.
You’ll absolutely fall in love with the gorgeous autumn season as you meander through the Ozarks.
And you’ll encounter beautiful hardwood trees, creek crossings, rolling hills, towering bluffs, and more. The best time of year to visit is late October through November.
Along with the gorgeous scenery, be prepared to see lots of wildlife as well as the goats and horses freely roaming around the property.
While horseback riding is the main attraction, the ranch is also known for rock climbing as well as ziplining. And both are incredible activities during the fall season.
Though the ranch is all inclusive and you must be a guest to partake in the horse trail tours, you can opt to camp at the campsite and purchase day use adventures.
Regardless of how you plan your visit to Horseshoe Canyon, it’s guaranteed that you’ll be blown away by the gorgeous fall vistas on the property.
