Rapp Corral offers summer horseback trailriding within San Juan National forest near Haviland Lake, 20 miles north of Durango.
Our flexible schedule and small group rides ensure a wonderful riding experience for all rider abilities. We offer one hour, two hour, three hour and custom planned longer rides.
One Hour Ride
A labyrinth of trails within the San Juan National Forest. Our guests can ride terrain suited their abilities and interests! Aspen forests, Ponderosa and Oak studded hill sides, meadows and Spruce forests on the north sides make this ride truly complete! Minimum age is six years old.
Two Hour Ride
The trails continue! We may cross some creeks or spend some time in the Lupine Meadows (during early summer) a truly beautiful ride for those wishing to spend more time in the saddle. Minimum age is eight years old. Bring some water.
Cave Ride
This is a family favorite. A two hour excursion includes a short, but steep, hike to a natural water cave we explore by flashlight! Bring a little snack and some water for the short break we take after hiking back up from the cave. A great ride for those who want to stay out longer with a two hour commitment to the saddle! Total riding time is about an hour and forty minutes. Minimum age is six years old.
Three Hour Ride
We can combine the cave ride and some longer trails for a wonderful outing that is nice to bring along a little lunch if you schedule during the middle of the day, or we can ride out to Four Bay Lake and take a break, with or without your lunch, over looking the Animas River Canyon. Minimum age is eight years old. Bring water and either a little snack or lunch.
Hermosa Cliffs
This is a four to five hour excursion, depending on conditions and what trail we take. Bring a lunch and water and dress in layers...bring a jacket know matter what the weather is...This is a unique ride that allows participants to see a lot of country of elevated parks, forests and incredible long distance views of the Needles, La Plata's and Electra Lake. The ride originates at Elbert Creek and climbs 1000 feet in elevation. Since Aspen trees dominate the forest this ride is an "autumn favorite" for the colors are spectacular. This is a fairly strenuous ride so riders should be in good physical condition; kids must be over 12 years old.
Engineering Mountain Ride
The Engineer Mountain Ride is our wrangler's favorite! This excursion is truly some of Colorado's best high country. Wild flowers are incredible, the views are so incredible words do no justice...we are at timberline and above on this ride (10,800' to 11,900').
This ride can be done in four hours or the entire day. Bring a lunch and water, dress in layers and bring a jacket. Kids must be over 12 years old. $170.00
