About this tour
Saddle up for a three-hour horseback ride through the wide-open landscapes of Paradise Valley, with a striking mountain landmark as your destination. On this guided outing, follow remote trails across private land toward Chimney Rock, a dramatic formation rising to 7,650 feet.
Pause at the rock to take in views across three mountain ranges: the Absaroka, Bridger, and Gallatin. Then ride back through the ranch’s scenic terrain, with more chances to enjoy the mountain vistas along the way. A riding helmet is provided, and prior riding experience is strongly recommended.
Meet the staff at Erik’s Ranch and follow them in your own vehicle to the trailhead. The access road is best suited to a high-clearance, AWD or 4WD vehicle. Riders must wear closed-toe shoes, and the weight limit is 220 lb. This Paradise Valley horseback ride offers a memorable way to explore the country around Chimney Rock; book your ride and get ready to take in the views from the saddle.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Bozeman
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
