Horseback Ride in Grand Teton National Park
Strap on your boots and saddle up – autumn is the perfect time of year to explore Wyoming’s stunning wilderness. Local wranglers, like those at Dry Ridge Outfitters, offer a variety of guided horseback riding trips that last anywhere from an hour to several days out on the trails. Prime leaf-peeping season is mid-September to mid-October, when Grand Teton National Park is flush with red-gold aspens and golden cottonwoods, set against a brilliant blue sky. Back at ground level, keep your eyes open for moose, elk, and the occasional bear, too. www.dryridge.com
