Half Day Wilderness Picnic Ride $99 Adult $89 Child (intermediate)

Let us take you to even more breathtaking scenery on our Half Day Wilderness Picnic Ride. This ride enters either the Ptarmigan or Eagles Nest Wilderness areas. Wilderness areas are special areas designated by the USFS which are off limits to motorized vehicles and offer extremely pristine lands.
