Horseback riding may have been the transportation of necessity in the old west but today it is a great source of recreation--a wonderful way to explore the back country of Colorado. Chaffee County outfitters provide a number of opportunities for horseback riding--whether you just want to rent a horse, participate in a guided tour, go on a pack saddle hunting or fishing trip or take an overnight trip.
