Ride in the
High Sierra! There are a number of stables
and equestrian centers
in Plumas County that offer trail rides,
instruction for individuals and family with
or without prior horseback riding
experience.
 Take
a horseback ride into terrain that brings
you to pristine lakes, towering pine forests
and back in history. Wranglers from
numerous stables offer guided trips ranging
from novice hour-long rides to overnight
pack trips complete with meals. Or, if you
prefer, the guides will pack you in and out
on horses, leaving you to enjoy the campsite
on your own. Want to experience the
Old West in comfort and style? Try a
horse-drawn wagon ride that includes a
barbecue dinner served outdoors. In
the winter, you can sing carols and snuggle
together on sleigh rides pulled by
draft horses.
 Visitors who bring their own horses also will
find plenty of trails, camp- sites and
stables to accommodate them. Check with the
Plumas or Lassen National Forest Service
offices for specific trail and campsite
information.
