If you want a personal, private experience while supporting a family business this is the place for you! We went on an hour ride with Tyler and were more than pleased! It was such a beautiful property, great horses, and we felt extremely safe the entire time. It was just my husband and I on the ride so we were able to truly enjoy it and take it all in. We got a great history of the property and the family and saw a good bit of wildlife! We hope to come back one day! P.S. follow their directions online - NOT your gps!

We had an amazing experience riding through some stunning views with our guide Tyler. He was very polite and helpful along with Stayce. They gave us wonderful insight to their ranch.

Horseback riding with Wilderness Connection was easily one of the best parts of our trip. A family-owned business that has been passed down through 5 generations. You can feel the pride and passion behind everything they do. Our guide, Tyler, made the ride unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area and also had an unbelievable ability to spot wildlife along the trail. The views were gorgeous the entire ride. The horses were wonderful, healthy, well cared for, and matched thoughtfully to each rider’s comfort and experience level. The whole team created such a welcoming and safe environment. Highly recommend.
★★★★★
I’ve been to three total horseback riding locations in this area and by far this was the best experience. Tyler was our guide and has a wide variety of knowledge. The trail itself was a little bit of everything you would want. Highly recommend having your horseback ride experience here!

★★★★★
My dad took me Elk hunting with Rob and his crew in 2002 for a graduation present which was a trip of a lifetime that I talk to my kids continuously about and tell my little boy that hopefully I can take him out there when he is older! I’m glad to see they are still running strong!

My sister and I had the most beautiful time at the ranch. The views were absolutely stunning and our guides Cody and Ellery were incredible. Both guides made the ride much more comfortable and safe creating such a fun experience! We both rode Johnny bravo and potato chip! Definitely would highly recommend coming to this place as the people and horses were absolutely amazing.
★★★★★
Cody and Jess were wonderful! We came with our family for a two hours scenic horseback ride and the experience was beyond what we could have expected. The horses were all kind but still with their own personalities making the connection with the horse more interesting. We loved it and my son keeps talking about Boots, his horse! Thank you Cody for the songs and all the great jokes and for sharing knowledge with us! Highly recommended.

Spent a 2hr ride with Tyler and we completely enjoyed our experience. The horses were easy, comfortable and beautiful. Tyler made us comfortable and was very informative about his family’s land and the surrounding area. He was a great guide for this breathtaking back country ride. Definitely recommend this ride to anyone who wants to get away from the crowds and discover another part of this area.

We had a beautiful day up on the Mountain with Cody. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He also entertained us with his singing! A perfect day…. Thank you Cody.
★★★★★
What a great ride! We thoroughly enjoyed our morning trail ride at Stermitz Ranch. Cody our guide was great. The horses are very gentle. The location has fantastic views. As you can tell, I am giving them 5 stars! I have been in the area for several months and worked several outfitters. This was by far the most enjoyable ride of all AND the most economical. Just Do It!
★★★★★
I had an amazing experience at the Stermitz ranch. If you have some horse riding experience I would recommend the half day ride. Amazing views and we had lunch on the top of the mountain. If I could give the Stermitz ranch 6 stars I would. They are also cheaper than anyone else in the area. We will be back again!!!!
★★★★★
Great private ride with Cody- the area HS band, music, and math teacher. We learned about the park, flora, wolves, bison, and Truman Everts. The views were amazing, and the dad jokes had us all groaning.
★★★★★
We went on the 1 hour trail ride today and it was amazing, Olivia is a great tour guide and very engaging with us and full of knowledge. Thanks again Olivia for the great experience and memories we will take back to Australia.
