We have 30 horses here at the Whitebird Summit Lodge and they live with us year around. They are gentle and safe for all types of riders ages 8 to 80! Our rides will take you over the Nez Perce grounds where the US Calvary fought the Nez Perce Indians in the war of 1877. Back country trips can also be arranged to the Historic Gilmore Ranch - where time has stood still from the early 1900's. If you have a little one that is too young for one of our 1/2 day or full day rides we will be more than happy to give them a little ride around the yard. Bring your extra apples with our horses love them and it is a great way to make friends with one of the many horses on the ranch.
You might want to combine your stay with us and try your hand at white water rafting which provides a great opportunity to view the river looking up through the canyon you have just rode on top of. Saddle n Paddle packages our most popular vacation package!
