One of the unique opportunities at Top of the Mountain is to take in the scenery and atmosphere on horseback...

Mountain horseback trail rides provide an exceptional opportunity to observe wildlife in its natural habitat and to view and become part of the tranquil environment that is exclusive to high mountain landscapes.


Our guests have the option of venturing out with their own horses, exploring the magnificence of hundreds of acres along the Blue Mountains or riding our experienced trail horses on one of our many "Traditional Trail Rides".

Besides traditional trail rides, special morning and evening "Steak Fry Rides" are available.  These rides are arranged for private individual groups and are designed to be a unique recreational dining experience.

The "Morning Breakfast Rides" will get your day off to a dazzling start with an exhilarating sunrise and lots of fresh air.  As you ride to the top of the mountain, you can watch wildlife in their early morning grazing.  By the time you reach our cow camp on top you will have worked up an appetite for a hardy breakfast of steak and eggs with sourdough biscuits.  We will have you back to our barn by mid-morning so that you can continue your day, relaxing or enjoying any of the other Walla Walla Valley activities available to you.  If someone in your party prefers not to ride, they can drive up with the cook and enjoy the mountain scenery while the rest of the party makes their way up the mountain.

Following a steak dinner, you will return across the top of the mountain where you can view the entire Walla Walla Valley and enjoy our breathtaking summer sunsets.  An "Evening Ride" is the perfect way to end a special day!


Call or E-Mail Top of the Mountain for price and scheduling information on these rides.
