A longer ride in the high country at Hell's A-Roarin' Ranch, lunch in Gardiner, then the 8-Mile raft trip in the afternoon. The whole Montana day, planned for you.
✓ Fits your crew
Check in with us at 10:00, then drive up to Hell's A-Roarin' Ranch for a 1.5-hour ride through the Gallatin National Forest, with views of Mammoth Hot Springs, the Yellowstone River and 11,000-foot Electric Peak.
Lunch is on us in Gardiner: show your Flying Pig wristband at one of our partner spots. Then walk down from the shop to your raft for the 8-Mile at 3:15.
Short on time? The Paddle & Saddle Express pairs a one-hour ride with the 8-Mile in about half the time, and it's the one most of our riders choose.

Reviews
“We went Horseback riding with Maryeus and Rowland who were excellent guides and took good care of us throughout the countryside. It was a beautiful ride… Whitewater rafting was a lot of fun as well, we had a great guide Michael who kept us on course through the rapids.”
“Horseback riding and Rafting were both amazing. The views at Hells a roaring were great… After that we went down to Gardiner for our free lunch… I had some of the best ribs I have ever had for free.”
“We took the paddle and saddle package… The staff were very knowledgeable and safety conscious. We saw a herd of elk while riding.”
Good to know
A 1.5-hour ride, lunch in Gardiner and the 8-Mile Raft Trip, with all rafting gear.
Yes. After check-in at the shop you'll get directions. It's about 20 to 30 minutes up a gravel mountain road; most cars and SUVs are fine, but not large RVs or trailers.
Riders need to be at least 7, and there is a 300 lb per person weight limit.
No previous horseback experience is needed. The rides are gentle trail rides with a wrangler.
At the ranch, it's safe to leave your things in the car. At the shop, use our numbered boxes.
