Traveling in the Yellowstone Backcountry on horseback is a traditional and exciting way to see the park. Only horses, burros, mules, ponies and llamas may be used as pack animals. Because horses and mules are large animals with big appetites, they have the potential for causing a noticeable impact on the backcountry.
People using stock in the backcountry must accept the responsibility to minimize the signs of their passing. Stock selected for a trip in Yellowstone should be well trained, compatible with each other and accustomed to the restraining techniques you plan to use whether they be electric fences, hobbles or pickets. Highlines can be used, but they must be set up and moved often enough so that trees and underlying areas are not damaged. Horses may not be kept overnight at any trailheads or in any of the roadside campgrounds. To camp overnight in the park, you must have a Backcountry Use Permit and use a backcountry campsite which allows horses or stock. None of the sites have corrals or hitching rails and tying stock to trees for long periods is not permissible. If you wish to take a daytime ride, call the Backcountry Office for a Day Use Stock Permit.
Campsites and trails may be closed to stock use in the spring and early summer due to wet conditions. Generally, overnight stock use isn't permitted before 01 July. Contact the nearest ranger station or the Backcountry Office for current trail conditions and/or restrictions.
Enjoy an evening camping, a night in a cozy Montana log cabin, a day horseback riding and a day rafting the Yellowstone River. All-inclusive, ideal for families on a budget.
Bring the kids family for an outdoor educational activity to remember. Summer adventures include hiking, canoeing, gps tracking, fishing and backpacking.
