  This was my second time to Eagle Ridge Ranch. This time was better than the last time. The horses were great for the kids and the guides were knowledgeable. This is the "Real West Ride".The guides are not kids hired from the cities. They are real cowboys--born and raised to work with horses. Besides, they are really good-looking which helps the young single girls. The guides were smart, kind and knowledgeable. You could tell they knew what they were doing. I was amazed that they had young kids riding by the end of the ride. The scenery was beautiful and off the beaten track. we stayed for the dinner which was a real treat. The scones were terrific and I ate at least 8. The entire afternoon was just relaxing and wonderful. I felt pampered and entertained. I will go back again.

  On our visit to Yellowstone my husband booked our family a horseback riding trip. We didn't realize Eagle Ridge was so far from West Yellowstone where we were staying and actually considered changing the plans to a place closer, however we decided to keep the plans and boy was it worth the extra drive. The ranch was tucked back away from the main road, the guides were all very courteous, funny, and helpful, and the scenery was gorgeous! After our ride my daughters and I stuck around to watch the horses and feed them treats and my husband and son spent some time fishing in the creek. They have a clean bathroom, not an outhouse, which I was thankful for. It was one of the highlights of our vacation. We plan to go back next year.

  Eagle Ridge is a great place for the less experienced rider. Their horses are slow and sure and you can feel confident putting young children on them. The ride is. through flat land that has ponds and pines. We have seen moose twice on our rides. The guides are helpful and personable.

  Our family of 8 adults and 1 eight year old had a blast on this trail ride. Jarom was a great guide, funny, knowledgeable, safety conscience, informative, entertaining and so cute! They take the time to really fit you to the saddle. The ride is about 2 1/2 hours, so you really get your money's worth. The trail is easy and horses are well trained. The area is beautiful. For beginner riders and families this was the highlight of our visit to Island Park.There is a place to picnic and we did, in the shade. There were paddle boats and fishing, but it rained the day we were there. We hope to go back.

  Our extended family of 22 spent a week enjoying the Yellowstone area. We marveled at the beauty of God's creation, but we must admit, hours in the car day after day didn't always feel marvelous to the kids. Eagle Ridge Ranch was the perfect break! The people there were very welcoming and allowed us to spend the whole day fishing, petting the horses, swimming and picnicking. The evening ride was gorgeous, even though it was cut a little short by the weather. But, the staff were professional and handled it wonderfully. It became a bonding experience and we all went home with an adventurous story to tell. Don't miss out on the delicious cowboy fare. The evening meal around the campfire was delicious. We were told that they made the best "scones" around, and it's true, but they seemed awfully close to what we in Louisiana call a beignet. Mmmmmmm!Finally, singing with the family around the campfire can't be beat. Don't miss getting to know the fine people at Eagle Ridge Ranch and take a break from the park. There's still plenty to marvel at here.

  We are a family of 3 kids all under 6yo from Boston. Had a great time. Web site is accurate. My daughter who is a small 5yo was able to ride a horse by herself which she absolutely loved!

  While in Island Park, Idaho, my children and I took a ride and had dinner with the wonderful family at Eagle Ridge Ranch. Having taken other rides with other programs in years past, I can say with certainty that this was BY FAR the most warm, welcoming, organized, and worth the money trip we have ever taken! Our guide, Chris from Rupert, Idaho was amazing. He was kind to my kids, engaging with all the rides, extremely safe, and had an outstanding sense of humor. My sons LOVED the rope-swing into the pond. We loved the dutch oven dinner and the all around service we received. This is the only horseback ranch I would ever recommend to friends and family, now that we have others to compare it to. We loved it. We traveled from Maine and we will travel back again!

  Yellowstone Horses is run out of Eagle Ridge Ranch. The Ranch rents cabins and Yellowstone rents horses. We were staying on the Ranch (awesome) and went horseback riding. The young guys were great, friendly, patient, and not your usual sullen teens. It was my daughter's first time on a horse and she was nervous/excited. The ride was guided and definitely for beginners but still enjoyable. Great memories.

  The place is a ways off from Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Parks but thoroughly enjoyable. We were a bit concerned to begin with but made the reservations and drove there. It was a great ride driving through open Idaho farms and fields. We got independent horses for all - they were helpful and chose appropriate horses for each of us. There was a quick intro on how to control and ride the horses - it was our first ride. The ride was scary at first but we quickly got the hang of it. The speed is slow so quite manageable. The kids loved it as well. They don't have a lot of facilities so carry your water or snacks, as appropriate.

  Eagle Ridge is about 30 minutes outside of the west entrance to Yellowstone. They rent cabins. The horseback riding is a separate company. The town of West Yellowstone is rough around the edges and a Super 8 was asking $300. It was a little hard to find (saw a moose on the way) but followed the road signs instead of GPS. Staff was kind and sincere, the cabin was clean, and the horseback riding was fun as well. It was worth the drive. The cabin had a kitchen and a hot tub on the front deck. The lake they advertise is dinky but we tried the rope swing and had a blast anyway. The price was outstanding and I don't have a single complaint. We enjoyed it more than the $300 a night room in Jackson, Wyoming the night before and would highly recommend it. Big family? They have one large unit they call "the Lodge" otherwise you're looking at groups of three/four tops.
