John A. Greenwald (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1992

The ultimate guide to horseback adventures in California. Discover the many interesting and exciting horseback riding experiences offered in scenic locations all over California. From the Siskiyous in the north to the Mexican border, there are over 80 stables, pack stations, and guest ranches providing an endless variety of riding opportunities. Day rides-travel through every kind of California scenery, from picture-postcard mountain meadows and magnificent redwood forests to starkly beautiful desert landscapes, and romantic beaches along the coast. Pack trips-go where only backpackers have gone before and let the outfitters cook all the meals. All-inclusive pack trips are available all through the Sierra Nevada, in the northern mountains, and in selected spots along the coast. Guest ranches-you don't have to go to Wyoming or Colorado for a great guest ranch experience. There are a number of outstanding guest ranches right here in California, providing unforgettable family vacations. Cattle drives-live the dream of city slickers everywhere and take part in an authentic cattle drive. Fall and spring drives are conducted on both sides of the Sierra and in the northeastern corner of the state. Horse drives-if cows don't move fast enough for you, try a herd of horses. Horse drives just may be the most exciting riding events of all. Pack stations throughout the Eastern Sierra offer them each fall and spring.
