The Vista Verde Riding Program offers fun-filled, informative activities with a touch of adventure that accommodates all riding levels. Our Kid’s Wranglers get the youngsters started in the arena, but soon move out on the trail. Kid’s rides are available daily. However, family rides are a popular option. In addition to riding, kids have the opportunity to learn how to feed and groom their horses and also tend other ranch animals. The teens have exclusive teen rides as well as the option of riding with adults.

Families and fun are the major focus of summer at Vista Verde. The goals of family fun hikes are to give the entire family a fun-filled experience. One such outing is to Gilpin Falls, a short duration, low intensity, and mild terrain type hike. We want the youngsters to have a great experience and develop a joy of being active in nature. Such an experience translates to fun-filled memories. There are plenty of snacks in our backpacks to munch, plenty of family photo opps and plenty of mountain air to help digest the magic.
