Horseback riding in Jackson: Moose Meadow Breakfast Ride

You ride through the natural habitat where moose, elk and bald eagles live.

Moose Meadow Breakfast Ride is a guided horseback activity in Jackson's Bridger Teton National Forest where you spend two hours on mountain trails winding through Douglas Firs and Alpine Wildflowers, riding along Willow Creek toward the Snake River and finishing with breakfast at Moose Meadow. The ride makes a full loop so you see new scenery throughout. Live guides speak English and Spanish. Children are welcome from age 8.

The experience

The trail starts at Willow Creek headquarters and climbs into terrain where wildlife encounters are frequent. You'll ride past Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule Deer and Shiras Moose in their natural habitat, with Red Tailed Hawks and American Bald Eagles overhead. The route winds through Douglas Firs and Lodge Pole Pine, then drops down to ride along, and sometimes through, the crystal clear water of Willow Creek as it flows toward the Snake River.

The full loop takes you through Moose Meadow to a breakfast location where the meal is included. Because the trail circles back rather than retracing itself, you're seeing different views and forest the whole way. The entire ride stays inside Bridger Teton National Forest, so the landscape stays wild and the wildlife sightings stay genuine.

What’s included

• Breakfast at Moose Meadow.
