What kind of a horseback ride do you want? A ride on an old dusty gravel road? Do you want to drive up some rough, old goat trail road to the top of some mountain and be worn out and disgusted before your ride? Do you want to be put on some horses that are leased for the season and hope they will work out, maybe you are the first guinea pig to ride them. Do you want to be put in the care of some inexperienced person who knows less than you do and maybe you know more.

OR Do you want to ride some well trained, well taken care of horses and mules? Do you want to be guided by cowboys and cowgirls that know the business! This is our business and has been for many years. We just didn't decide to start up and see if it will work. We care about our guests and horses. We want you to have a quality/safe time and see some scenery as well. The pictures on our web site are actual pictures of our operation and where we actually take our rides. Our riding stock are tried and proven and we own them all.

We live in and operate in the Paradise Valley. We are not on the edge or close to it. We also take some of our day horseback rides and day horseback fishing  trips into Yellowstone National Park.

Ask anyone around the area and they will tell you that Bear Paw Outfitters is the place to go for the nicest, safest and most scenic horseback riding. We are one of the oldest horseback riding outfits in the area. (going on 25 years)

We own our horses and mules so we know what to expect out of them, from year to year. If you have had a bad experience in the past, please give us a try and we will build your confidence back up, so you can once again enjoy our four footed friends. We do not allow any running of the animals. Our family and guides have all lived in the area for years and know how to take good care of our guests. You can trust your family's care to us. We want you to have a nice experience so you will come back again and do some more horseback riding. The novice to the experienced will be at ease with us.

The Secret "5 Mile Park"

Because we care about you and our stock there is no running of the animals and no double riding. If the little ones are to young, then they are better waiting and having a good time when they get older. Smaller children will be led on their own horse by one of our experienced wranglers.

We will take you on an honest horseback riding trip whatever the time frame. With experienced Guides that know stock and our guests needs. We recommend at least a 2 hrs of horseback riding. 

Our all day rides in the Paradise Valley are the perfect way to get farther into the wilderness of the Yellowstone Ecosystem in the famous 1 million acre Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.  In one day you will see the most beautiful high mountain scenery you could imagine.  We have several different locations to take you in this large vast wilderness area.  We usually meet at the various trailheads at 9:00 - 9:30 a.m. or earlier if you like and return around 3:00 p.m. In the hotter weather you will enjoy going earlier and then you can take a nap when you get back! We ride to a lunch destination.  You'll have time to stretch your legs, and take some pictures, before mounting up and heading home. The chances of seeing wildlife are very likely on an all day ride. If you really want to gain some understanding of the wilderness, we highly advocate spending a day in the saddle with one of our guides.

Make sure before booking with any Outfitter/Guide for Yellowstone Park or Montana ask if they have and can provide a copy of their Yellowstone Park Permit or Montana Board of Outfitters license and number. If they can't and are not on the Stock Outfitters for Yellowstone they are illegal!

Yellowstone Park Day Trips:

Our Yellowstone Park horseback riding day trips take place in the North end of the Park. The most popular is the Slough Creek trip. Dad if you like to do some fly fishing and the rest of the family wants to do some horseback riding, this trip will satisfy everyone. We will take you to the best fly fishing spot around and if the rest of the group wants to do more horseback riding or just relax, they can. You can make the whole family happy. It is 2 hrs. of horseback riding to the fly fishing spot and 2 hrs. of horseback riding back. We leave at 8:00 a.m.- 8:30 a.m. from the trailhead, with a pack animal to carry the fly fishing gear. If everyone is on time you can take in about  4 1/2 hours of fly fishing. We leave 3rd meadow at 4:00 pm and arrive back at the trailhead at 6:00 p.m.

Another popular horseback riding day trip in the Park, is the Specimen Ridge ride.

On day horseback riding wear some foot wear that you can walk in. Some walking is required on some trips back down the mountain. This is for your safety and helps stretch your legs from horseback riding.
