Bryce Horseback riding is only available inside Bryce Canyon by Canyon Trail Rides . Capitol Reef Horse and pack stock use is considered a valid means of viewing and experiencing Capitol Reef National Park. Stock use in any part of the park may be prohibited when, at the discretion of the superintendent, such action is necessary to protect park resources or visitors. There are a few trails, however, that due to their physical condition or unsuitability, are not available for stock use. A one-day trip is also offered which goes part way to the river.
Overnight riders stay and eat at Phantom Ranch.
Grand Teton Park concessioners offer horseback rides at Colter Bay and Jackson Lake Lodge. The park offers diverse riding opportunities. Sixty percent of the trails are open to stock use. Those closed to stock are difficult to maintain or pass through unique and fragile areas intolerant of such use. Stock manure droppings introduce exotic plants that displace native vegetation.
