Western Montana riding trails

As I have learned more about horse-packing, I've found that my biggest obstacle to great adventures on the trail is often knowing where to go and what to expect when I get there. With that in mind, I began making careful records of my trips around Western Montana in order to help others explore the wilderness with their horses and I so love to do. Look bellow for information on the best horseback riding and horse packing trails in Western Montana.
