Top 10 Outdoor Adventures

Horseback Riding


SPLURGE: Granby, Colorado
A haven in the high Rockies for over 60 years, C Lazy U Lodge offers fine home-cooked feasts served family-style, comfy cowboyish lodges just shy of luxurious, and the hospitality of an extended family. Horses and instruction are exceptional, with classes at any level in indoor and outdoor arenas and all-day trail rides. At week’s end, show off your teamwork at the (slightly) competitive rodeo. From $2,350 for 7 days; www.clazyu.com

VALUE: Iceland
Discover Iceland’s cowboys – or sheep boys, which is close enough – at Sveinsstadir, where you’ll ride into the highlands to herd horses from summer pastures back to the family farm. You must be a proficient rider, capable of up to 7 hours in the saddle over the 5-day trip. Soak away soreness in the outdoor geothermal hot tub. From $2,075, including airfare from U.S.; www.icelandair.com (click Vacation Packages, then Adventure)
