This ride does some climbing, while looking down on Glacier Creek and a small waterfall. The ride offers spectacular views of the Front Range, including Longs Peak, at the top. This trail is appropriate for riders of all ages. MORAINE PARK: This 2-hour family ride, our most popular, takes you across bridges over Glacier Creek and the Big Thompson River into Moraine Park a glacial moraine full of wildflowers and grand views of the Continental Divide. Wildlife is almost always a certainty to be observed and makes this even a more pleasurable ride.

The trail travels past the East Portal of the Adams Tunnel before returning along the Aspenbrook Trail. This ride includes many terrains and a variety of views. 3-HOUR RIDE TO BEAVER MEADOWS, CUB CANYON, EAST PORTAL or MILL CREEK: A true horseback riding experience! These rides take you deeper into the aesthetic and scenic values offered in RMNP, each providing a different view of forests, meadows, wildflowers, rivers and the Continental Divide. These rides offer a better opportunity to spot the many varieties of wildlife, and a short rest break is provided about half-way through. These longer rides are designed to include some trotting, but it is not guaranteed. 4-HOUR RIDE TO WIND RIVER: This trip takes you climbing west along Glacier Basin, then heads south along Wind River where the wild flowers are abundant. There is a short rest break about half way through the ride nestled along Wind River. 5-HOUR RIDE TO BIERSTADT LAKE: This ride makes a continuous loop beginning in the lower Mill Creek area, on the way to the summit of the Bierstadt Lake shores, and returns through Glacier Basin. Expect fantastic views of Longs Peak and a variety of sceneries not seen from our other rides. (This ride is not designed for first time riders.) ALL-DAY RIDE: This ride is designed for the seasoned horseback rider and takes you further into the rugged back country of RMNP. The destination varies depending on the time of year and trails that are open, or closed, due to impassable snow conditions. However, the ride does promise to be the highest altitude obtainable, providing the grandest of scenic mountain views. HAYRIDES: Private and Open horse-drawn hayrides are available throughout the summer. Cost is $20.00 per person. Kids 3 years old and under are free. Each hayride lasts approximately 1½ hours and includes a campfire and marshmallow roast. A family favorite! Call the YMCA Livery (ext. 1140) for scheduling and additional information.
