A Guided Ride Through the Mountains
Set out on a guided trail ride along the base of Massanutten Mountain, where wooded trails open to mountain views and every turn brings a new stretch of scenery. Settle into the saddle, follow the rhythm of the trail, and experience the mountain at a slower pace - through the trees, across the landscape, and away from the usual resort bustle. Trail guides are $75 per person and provide instruction before and during the ride and match each guest with an appropriate horse, making the experience welcoming for first-time riders while still delivering a memorable sense of adventure.
