The experience

Four hours gives you real time to move through the park and actually find what you came for instead of rushing through a fixed itinerary. Your guide is a local who visits Theodore Roosevelt regularly and knows the routes where horses actually appear, along with the other wildlife and the landscape details most visitors miss. The pace stays flexible. You're not watching a clock or hitting predetermined stops. If you need to be back by a certain time, that works. Otherwise, the day stretches as long as the animals cooperate.

You'll need a Theodore Roosevelt National Park pass to enter. Make sure you have one before the tour starts. Snacks are provided during the day. The guide speaks English and the minimum age is 18. The terrain and the search itself suit all fitness levels, though you'll be moving through the park on foot to track the horses and wildlife.

What’s included

• Snacks during the tour.
