My husband and I had an amazing time riding through the mountains with Alex! The scenery was beautiful and the ride was long, relaxed and private. I happened to stumble across this business while searching for horse-back rides on the Wyoming tourism website and I am so very glad we found them! We had a full day filled with riding, fishing and beautiful mountains with a great guide who really knew her stuff! It was a great adventure! This place offers an AMAZING value! The price is less than any others we found for an all-day ride and fish experience. Thanks to the Sleeping Indian Outfitters and Alex for helping to make our vacation awesome!!
My 15 year old son and I visiteed Jackson Hole WY on July 11th to the 16th,2013. We are an active pair and I wanted my son to experience all that Jackson Hole had to offer.One thing we decided on was horseback riding.Neither one of us had been horseback riding before.I searched a number of of advertisements in the Jackson Hole area and then I contacted my other son who lives in Jackson Hole and he yold me that the best horseback riidng experience was Sleeping Indian Outfitters (SIO) located approximately 35 miles outside of Jackson in a small country community called Bondurant.THe ride was easy and the scenery was beautiful.Once we arrived we were greeted by Alix who along with her fiancee Sam operate SIO . Alix made us feel right at home from the time we stepped out of our car. Our horses were waitng for us and Alix provided instructions that were clear and esasy to understand.The horses were perfect for my son and I and any apprehensions we may have had disappeared quickly .It was obvious Alix loved her horses and people.The ride was something we never expected.The beauty of the trails was breathtaking and Alix explained the history of the area as we rode throughout. WE went up and up and the more we went the more astonishing the views .We crossed streams and farms on our journey and we met a real cowboy who was fixing fencing on his property.During the ride Alix stopped to take pictures of my son and I and the beautiful mountains and valleys that we rode through.If you can imagine a perfect experience than you can relate to our horseback riding adventure with Alix.The trip lasted over 2 hours but my son and I hated to see it end.We did a lot of great activties while in the jackson Hole area but the horseback riidng adventure at SIO was by far the most fun and adventuresome .We HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend recommend that if you are in the Jackson Hole area you drive to Bondurant and partcipate in the Sleeping Indian Outfitters experience.I can guarantee that you will not regret your decision.
First time at sleeping indian. Beautiful area,our guide alix was fabulous and the horses were very friendly and well behaved. Definitely would go back when traveling thru that area again.
My 3 teenagers asked me to find horseback riding that allowed some freedom and was NOT nose to rear the whole time. And that is exactly what we got with Sleeping Indian Outfitters. With Alix, our friendly and informative guide, we set off on a spectacular scenic and adventurous half day horse back ride. Bring a good camera, great opportunities for beautiful pictures! Well worth the money! Planning on going back for the 3-day overnight ride!!
We rode with Alex all morning. She is a kick in the pants. Very knowledgable about the area and friendly. She put us on two good mounts and took us throughout the foothills of the Gros Ventre range. We saw coyotes, sand hill cranes, elk, antelope and a western red taniger (nice job with the names, Alex). It was great time--definitely a good value for the money in the Jackson area since you get more time/attention/adventure than a huge group trail ride at the Village or Snow King. Worth it.
I work an on call job so planning to kill an elk for meat on my families table has become a reality time and time again ever since I had the pleasure of meeting Sam and Paul. Last year the quarters went in to the processor in Thayne and they told me "the size of them quarters u'd swear it was a moose." And that's just what the ol'lady likes to hear is bags and bags of jerky n steaks hitting the floor of the deep freezer. With a special thanks to Sam and his family for the food on the table.
Sleeping Indian Outfitters is the bomb. They matched our riders to their horses perfectly and guided us through a three-day adventure in the mountains of Wyoming. We slept under sparkling skies, fished for native trout and enjoyed delicious gourmet meals on the trail. The scenery and the guides were spectacular. We highly recommend and we would use them again.
Outstanding experience in an incredible part of Wyoming. We rode the Sleeping Indian Outfitter horses into the Gros Ventre wilderness and there enjoyed a three day "glamping" experience. They had already had our tents erected and the camp kitchen ready to go. The food prepared was nothing short of gourmet. The options for the "down" time included sitting by the campfire, hiking to waterfalls and mountains or additional trail riding. Alix and Sam are an amazing team. They created an unforgettable experience for three teenagers and five adults. We can't thank them enough!
My husband and I went on an all day trail ride with Alix. We had a awesome day. The horses were great. The views were spectacular. We saw lots of wildlife on the ride and the wildflowers were in full bloom. Alix is amazing. She knew every animal, plant, flower, tree and the history of the area. She was wonderful and made our day one we will never forget. We are so glad we chose Sleeping Indian Outfitters for our day of riding. We hope to go back and do it again! Lee and Jim (Ohio)
We have rode horse trails in 3 other mountain ranges, but Sam and Alix's Gros Ventres mountains were the most private and least traveled by other public. It is like stepping back in time to ride to camp, campfire cast iron cooking, overnight tenting, wildlife spotting on more trails rides on subsequent days. Awesome trip at a affordable price, they work hard so you don't have to! Gene and Nancy
