Horseback Riding
Yosemite National Park is unique not just for its majestic cliff faces and beautiful valleys, but also for the pioneer history that the area has as well. While you're at Yosemite, be sure to explore the rugged parklands and those pioneer roots by going for an exciting horseback ride through the park. Multiple trails are open to both guided and private horseback tours.
Guided Tours
Come join professional guides and learn the natural and cultural history of Yosemite on a guided horseback tour. Multiple guide services, such as DNC Parks and Resorts, offer horse and mule tours through and around Yosemite National Park. Most trips last a few hours, although half and full day trips are also available. Private tours
If a guided tour isn't to your taste, Yosemite National Park does allow private stock use within the park on most designated trails. Trails on the valley floor are designated bridle paths.
