Horseback Riding at Sunset

Experience summary

There is something timeless about watching the Pacific sunset from the back of a horse. At Rancho La Merced Wildlife Refuge, the trail winds through protected forest, along sandy shores, and across clear rivers as the sky transforms into a canvas of amber and gold. The horses here are gently trained and suited to all levels of rider — first-timers and experienced equestrians alike will feel completely at ease. Your ride may even lead you to a natural waterfall where you can dismount, cool off in the pool, and let the sounds of the forest fill the silence around you. This is the kind of slow, soul-filling adventure that stays with you long after the ride is over.
