Utahns aren’t afraid of a little snow, and there’s nothing we love more than outdoor recreation – even in the winter. This winter, try something a little bit different – take a horseback ride in the snow.
Rocky Mountain Outfitters offers winter horseback riding at Soldier Hollow.
Rocky Mountain Outfitters/Facebook Rides depart from the Soldier Hollow stable, located at 633 W. Soldier Hollow Drive in Midway.
The Heber Valley is a gorgeous place for a horseback ride.
