Yellowstone River Paddle & Saddle
|
|
  Spend the morning exploring Paradise Valley on horseback with Ryan and Heather Rigler of Slip and Slide Ranch. Their 900 acre ranch offers high sagebrush fields, juniper forest and mountain lakes just made for flyfishing!
This is possibly the best ride in the Yellowstone Area!
Your 2 1/2 hour ride covers diverse terrain and offers views of the Yellowstone River and surrounding Paradise Valley.
Just when you are ready to say, "what's for lunch? ", the guides take you over to the house where Heather serves up beef burgers made from the ranch and fixin's. Digest while you drive 12 miles to Montana Whitewater at Gardiner for a 1:30pm raft trip on the Yellowstone River.
 The Riglers are a Legendary Paradise Family with ties that go back to the Frontier days. Ask about Frank Senior and Frank Super Senior. They have backcountry tales that will give you a taste of the real Montana!
Check out the movie!
This trip is a steal of a deal!
Note: If you are coming from West Yellowstone or further, opting for the 12:15 trip would be best. Please call us to discuss your options!
