Horseback riding is one of the most traditional and enjoyable activities around.
Whether you bring your own stock, or take a day ride or pack trip with an outfitter, you will find the views to be astounding, and the effort to be non-existent. Some all-day rides such as those at Pine Creek will put you on the best fishing in the range. If you bring you own stock, there are several trailheads with corrals and camps with stock facilities. The Symmes Creek Trailhead for Sheperd Pass has a corral and this trail is so tough, that taking a ride up is a great alternative to brutal slog on foot. Stock can be used here to carry in loads for kayakers who wish to do the Kern River from Junction Meadow.
