Horseback Riding

Horseback riding on the shores of Lake Tahoe is a wonderful experience. Many of the dozens of famous hiking trails in the area welcome horses. You and your riding companion can experience the breathtaking views and one-of-a-kind sunsets found only in Lake Tahoe. Horseback riding is popular in Tahoe, and North Shore is no exception. There are four main stables in North Tahoe, all of which offer excellent packages, whether you want to hit the trails alone or with the entire family. The four stables are the Tahoe Donner Equestrian Center, Northstar Stables, Squaw Valley Stables, and Alpine Meadows Stables. The Northstar, Squaw, and Alpine stables are located at their respective resorts, and all offer extremely convenient access to their own mountain trails. The Tahoe Donner Equestrian Center is located in Tahoe City, and is the best place to go if you don’t want to deal with the big resorts. Each of these stables offers rides of varying duration, ranging from short 30-minute jaunts to lengthy four-hour treks. Generally, the stables welcome riders of all ages, including children over the age of six.
