You pull on chaps, swing a leg over a steady gelding and ride out of the Heart 6 Ranch into a widening valley. The wind off the Tetons pushes through sage and spruce, and the trail climbs into quieter country where the horizon opens to sharp, snow-dusted ridges. For three hours you cover ground horses were bred for: singletrack that tests balance, open benches that demand slow, admiring breaths, and pockets of forest where the scent of pine seems to urge you onward.

You pull on chaps, swing a leg over a steady gelding and ride out of the Heart 6 Ranch into a widening valley. The wind off the Tetons pushes through sage and spruce, and the trail climbs into quieter country where the horizon opens to sharp, snow-dusted ridges. For three hours you cover ground horses were bred for: singletrack that tests balance, open benches that demand slow, admiring breaths, and pockets of forest where the scent of pine seems to urge you onward.
This ride follows routes carved by working ranches and early mountain travelers—land once used by Shoshone people and later settled by homesteaders and cowhands. Geology is on full display: tilted fault blocks of the Teton Range rise abruptly from the valley floor, with glacially scoured benches and river cut terraces below. Cultural notes are simple and blunt here—ranching and backcountry guiding shape local life, and the Buffalo Valley Cafe at the ranch is a genuine waypoint.
Practically, expect varied terrain: dirt and rocky singletrack, moderate climbs and open stretches where control and a steady seat matter. Guides set pace for mixed-experience groups; this particular outing asks for some prior riding comfort rather than a first-time lesson. Bring layered clothing for shifting mountain temperatures, a brimmed hat, and closed-toe boots with a low heel. Hydrate before you mount and allow time after the ride to check out the valley—wildlife sightings are common and the views of Grand Teton are the core reward of the longer route.
This 3-hour ride is best for riders with some prior riding experience—comfortable steering, maintaining balance at a walk and trot, and following guide instructions.
Check-in is at the Heart 6 Ranch office next to the Buffalo Valley Cafe (16985 Buffalo Valley Road, Moran, WY); sign a waiver before mounting.
