Head to the Arrowmont Stables in Asheville North Carolina for a trail-blazing horseback riding adventure like no other. Your small group will meet within the ring at the stables to meet your horses and find one that is a good fit for you. You will be able to take advantage of the time in the Ring to get the feel of the movement of your horse in the safety of the corral before you head out on the open trail through the mountains. Once everyone has been fitted with their safety equipment and are comfortable working with their horse, it's off for a two and a half hour ride through quiet forests and lush meadows.

As the tour begins, travelers will be surrounded by beautiful Flame Azaleas in a thick hardwood forest. Imagine being surrounded by such peace, and tranquility while sitting atop such a majestic animal, it is an experience like no other.

As the hardwoods begin to thin and morph into the next scene of the trip, riders will enjoy the quiet serenity of a white pine forest, much like those that are known for their part in films such as the Star Wars franchise. When the trail clears from the woods, your horse will step out into a vast meadow, 4,200 feet of elevation and boasts gorgeous thirty-mile views of the Blue Mountain Parkway.

After you take in the sights of the distant Parkway, wander with your group through fern-filled forests that lead to a thick, dense wood that weaves back down the mountain toward the barn where your journey began only two and a half hours prior. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime experience.
