Guided Horseback Riding Adventure on the Flame Azalea Trail

Overview

Ride on horseback following your guide through a hardwood and enchanting white pine forest sprinkled with azaleas before you emerge into an open meadow on top of the mountain.

You reach 4,200 feet in elevation here and are treated to sweeping 30 mile views out to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Also, be on the lookout for wildlife, including deer, chipmunks, turkey, hawks and raptors of all types soaring above.

On the descent, you travel past the Old Fort Lodge area — a former youth camp established in 1960 — before ending your ride back at the stables of this 200-acre working horse farm.

Be sure to bring your camera. These are memories you want to treasure forever.

Most beautiful trail and great horses. I’ve gone horseback riding in several different places and this one was the best. Kids really enjoyed it

Everything went well. Guides did a good job. Kids enjoyed it. For some reason I need to get 100 characters

Awesome family environment. My mom and I went together. Sonny and his wife are very kind and caring. The horses are very well trained and the ride was easy and beautiful. This was only my second time on a horse and it was great!
