AUTUMN SUN PIONEER RIDES

Ride Camp

Ride camp is on private land, so please be extra courteous. Due to fire danger, no campfires or open flames are permitted.

Horse water and porta-potties will be provided. Please bring people water.

Deserts are weird. Be prepared for any weather.

Trails

Day 1: Endurance 50 miles, LD 25 miles
Day 2: Endurance 55 miles, LD 30 miles
Day 3: Endurance 50 miles, LD 25 miles

Non-competitive trail rides offered each day.

Our trails are mostly two-track and jeep-track through the high desert. Hoof protection is absolutely necessary. If your horse is unaccustomed to our desert terrain, including some rock, you may wish to consider using hoof boots or pads.

Autumn Sun is part of the Idaho IronHorse Challenge. Ride safe. Ride far.

Schedule

Endurance rides (50/55/50) begin at 7:30 each day

LD rides (25/30/25) begin at 8:00 each day

​Trail riders may start anytime after the LD riders are out. Please check out with the ride manager before you leave camp.

Join us for happy hour prior to each evening's dinner and ride meeting.

Dinners will be potluck style. Management will provide the main course each evening; please bring your favorite dishes to share.
