Over the Hill Outfitters ~ 1 Hour Ride @ 10 AM
Our 1-hour (10am) horseback ride is for those with less time who still want to experience the magnificent forest land of Durango. There are incredible views of the Palmer Quarter Horse ranch as we crest the ridge that is composed of the geologic layers making up the northern end of the San Juan Basin.
There are over 20 miles of trails to ride on the 1200 acre Palmer Quarter Horse Ranch, and we are constantly working to develop more. Our rides are not flat! We ride through valleys, up mountains, over ridges and all of our rides end up in the riparian area of the Florida River, which passes through the ranch. If the river is not too high, we ride across the Florida, allowing the horses to drink and cool off.
Weight Limits:
210 lb if height is less than 6 feet
240 lb if height is over 6 feet
Bring your reservation confirmation number with you when you arrive at the ranch at 9:45 am.
