What an amazing experience! I did the 2-hour horseback trail ride. I was impressed by how genuinely passionate and caring the guides were. It is a family-owned business, so the guides are related. The pace was relaxed and comfortable. You are on the horse the whole time, but they give plenty of breaks for both the riders and the horses. Throughout the ride, the guides will share fun insights about the horses themselves, the local wildlife and plants, the ranch itself and of course the Grand Tetons. They welcome all skill levels - even total beginners like me. The guides take the time to teach you how to direct and handle your horse, and the horses are very well-behaved. They also keep the group small, which makes the experience feel much more personal. You'll see stunning views of the Hoback area, the Snake River Canyon, and the Teton Range. You'll ride to see a spectacular view of Bidger Teton National Park. The guide is so nice that he will take pictures of you on your horse with the scenic background. It is an unforgettable experience for me. Highly recommend them. read more

I cannot recommend the 2 hour horseback ride and dinner enough! The views were epic and will not be achieved by any other company in the area! The steak dinner was so good! Chips and salads, salad, steak, corn, baked potato and dessert are all included. The family was so kind and our guide Blane made the ride enjoyable with his conversation. He also set us up for photos at the top! So glad we went with Mill Iron Ranch! read more

Mill Iron Ranch was an unforgettable experience. We were a group of four women with zero horseback riding experience, and we did this to try something new and celebrate a birthday. I'm so glad we chose Mill Iron. The trail was breathtaking, reaching a couple thousand feet in elevation with stunning views of the Grand Tetons. It's very beginner friendly, and even the kids, both 9 & 11 years old, in the other our group had no trouble keeping up. We did the group ride instead of a private one, but it still felt personal and small with just one other family, we were a total of 8. Cole, our guide, was fantastic. He kept a safe, easy pace, took breaks for us and the horses, and even took group photos once we reached the top. A quick heads up for those considering the 2-hour trail ride: you don't get off the horse the entire time, so expect a little soreness or stiffness by the end. But honestly, it's so worth it. The staff is kind, professional, and clearly care deeply for the horses. We learned that each horse only does one ride a day to avoid being overworked. If you're on the fence about trying horseback riding, take this as your sign. Go for it, you won't regret it. read more

We enjoyed a 2 hour horseback riding tour and Sadie was our guide. This is a family owned ranch that has been in the family for five generations. We rode up 2000 feet for incredible views in Bidger-Teton National Forest. The views were stunning and all of their horses are well taken care of and well trained. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend doing a tour with Mill Iron Ranch. read more

What an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we were met with kindness and hospitality. The process was smooth at check in. We were assigned our horses and taught exactly what to do, then we were on our way! Cody was a wonderful guide, explaining things about the region and taking us up a beautiful mountain path. My horse Pocahontas was very receptive to my leads and I felt very safe and was able to enjoy the ride and the incredible scenery. I highly recommend Mill Iron Ranch for your horseback riding in Jackson! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and memories. read more

Great experience, staff was very nice. A little pricy. Food was great. Wish we had more of a view and less of the woods. More valley. Did not like being right on the edge of the mountain though. read more

Looked at a few but my wife spoke with Kim and reviews were great so we tried a 2 hour. Firat time riding in 30 years and Sadie and Isaiah were great. Gave us a refresher and the ranch was beautiful. A family owned ranch and it was a great time. Some of the trails going up mountain were narrow but glad we did it. read more

Absolutely incredible experience here. We had David as our trail guide & our family had an unforgettable experience we will not soon forget at Mill Iron Ranch! The horses, the family that runs the ranch and everyone in between made us feel welcome and safe. The hospitality was unmatched. I would consider myself a first timer when it comes to horse riding and a ball of nerves but my horse Peanut Butter was patient with me up the mountain. If anyone is questioning their gumption for this adventure, don't! Just book it and go! Would love to return someday! The 2 hour ride was perfect and the dinner afterwards was delicious as well. Supporting a family run ranch is a must while visiting Jackson Hole. Thank you everyone at Mill Iron Ranch! read more

This is a MUST DO type of experience! My friend and I signed up for the 2 hour ride with dinner. I felt incredibly safe and the trails were nicely defined. The horses are very mellow and friendly. Mine (Peanut Butter) kept trying to eat everything in sight. The views are gorgeous and at the top, your guide stops to take pictures of you and your party. The views are breathtaking. And the dinner is phenomenal!! You get to choose how you like your steak cooked and it's prepared for you with a baked potato and other sides. I was very impressed by how many staff members were coming around to converse with guests, bring drinks, and make sure we're enjoying our meals. This was my favorite experience of my Jackson Hole trip! read more

We paid for 2 hour trail ride with lunch, 2 months ahead, and today was our trail ride, 9/16/2024. We were informed at 0800 that there would be no lunch, only the 2 hour trail ride. We were NEVER reimbursed our money paid for the lunch. No one told us 2 months ago when reserving our trail ride that in September "no one ever has the lunch". They took our money and never let us know there would not be a lunch. read more

I read all of the reviews on TripAdvisor and the few on Yelp and decided to give this business a try for our horseback ride out west. Talked to Kim, she books the rides and runs things as far as I can tell. She's not rude as some of the reviews say, just a VERY busy lady that does not have time for the fluff-straight to the point. Signs everywhere state no one over 235 pounds. Understandably so, these horses are taking a person 2000 feet up a mountainside and 2000 feet down a mountainside. You would not believe how hard these animals work. We got there early, as we didn't know how construction would be, got checked in and paid, and then hung out and enjoyed the views. We took a two hour ride with an older gentleman as our guide. It. Was. Amazing!! We took our family of five, kids are 8, 9, and 14. They loved it as much or even more than my husband and I did. The views were out of this world. We made occasional stops along the way for pictures, to give the horses a rest, and to double check that saddles are still tight. The trails are narrow, rocky in spots, and are on edges at times. Not once did we lose faith in the ability of our guide or the horses ability to make the trip. The horses make one trip a day, so they are not overworked. We would highly recommend this business for your horseback riding experience. You will not regret it, but you may have trouble walking normal after you hop off your horse. read more

Wow!!! If you are looking for a great trail ride, you must do it with Mill Iron Ranch!!! We climbed 2000 miles in elevation and the view from the top of the mountain was insanely cool. Kim was so great in fitting us in due to a scheduling constraint. She is so warm and gracious. Our guide was Jon and he was so charming in the most Southern hospitable way. This was the major highlight of our too quick, two day trip to Jackson Hole. Honestly can not recommend them enough! Thank you Mill Iron Ranch for a great ride and for all the love your horses so obviously receive!!! read more

We took the 2 hour dinner ride, which climbs 2000 feet to amazing views. 2000 feet up seems pretty easy on a horse, but the following 2000 feet decline was challenging. Think twice about two hours if you are not accustomed to horseback. The horses are sure footed and follow the path/trail and each other well. Our guide Sam was wonderful- hopping on and off his horse to help us as needed. Back at the ranch after the ride we were treated to the "cowboy dinner". Count on an entire T bone - at least an inch thick, cooked to order, a baked potato and corn on the cob! Luckily they will provide you a box to take home the leftovers. Chancy and Kim are the pair running this operation. They are warm and solicitous. Chancy is a fourth generation rancher who personally checks on your satisfaction. All the ranch hands went out of their way to talk to all the guests and make us feel welcome. We highly recommend this operation for your horse riding adventure. read more

Went on a 2-hour solo trail ride. Relaxing experience, amazing views.

Couldn't have had a better experience. The horses are unbelievably well behaved. Having a new rider can get confusing for a horse but they listen so well and follow the guide. Our guide also was fanatic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and had an answer for every question we asked. The ride and ranch are stunning. We did the 2 hour ride which is perfect for beginners and casual sight seeing. I hope to go back for a sleigh ride! read more

This was the most incredible Western day you could ever spend with a wonderful welcoming ranch family came in Jackson. Kim and Chancy are such great hosts and the ranch is breathtaking! The steaks were amazing as well as the mountain environment. A great family event to go horseback riding up in the beautiful Jackson Hole mountains and then to have an incredible T Bone steak and potato and corn dinner at the lodge. We will do this with all our visitors in Jackson! read more

Griffin was a great guide this past weekend. We really enjoyed our ride with this company.

Took our family (two kiddos) for a ride during our visit to Jackson. Was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our guide Cory was top notch, shared about the family and their ranch, and the local wildlife. BEAUTIFUL ride and view from the top... truly worth it and the best horse ride we've ever done as a family. But the dinner wasn't to be outdone. The steak was ridiculously good and made for a great conclusion to the ride. Full bar available with dinner, the rest of the dinner was simple but delicious, and highly recommend it. Took home a bottle of the special steak seasoning and can't wait to try it out at home. Thanks for the great experience Mill Iron Ranch! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our ride with Mill Iron Ranch! Evan did a terrific job not only being our tour guide (he was really funny), but he made sure that we were all taken care of every step of the way. Our ride was 2 hours (just letting you know that you will be on a horse for 2 hours! :-)), and we walked all the way up to the top of mountain and then we walked all the way down. So if you're a City Slicker like me, I was bit sore afterwards, but that's okay! The scenery was great, and I got to learn a bit about how to ride a horse. I recommend Mill Iron Ranch! I was a fun time!! read more

We had a fabulous time at the mill iron ranch! 2 hour ride, and gained 2000 feet elevation, which meant beautiful views at the top! The horses were very well behaved and our guide, Jack, was knowledge of the route. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area! Also loved that the ranch has been in the family for 5 generations! Next time we'll be back for the sleigh rides in the winter :) read more

I read all the reviews and I am sure the ride and views were spectacular.... We rode with a different ranch. If you read the bad comments, I experienced the same RUDE, curt, and out right nasty woman on the phone. Needs to learn how to deal with the public- My husband is 6' 4 and 145 lb-- not fat , just a big guy. I was told " I won't do that to my horses" I'm not into animal cruelty either, but MANY of the workers were as big or bigger than my husband and they were on horses??!! Ever negative post was supported by my experience. The rides, I am sure, are beautiful-- so get it from another ranch and Save yourself the abuse read more

Our morning spent riding the horses with the Mill Iron Ranch was nothing short of spectacular. The staff was friendly and professional. The entire ride, in late June, was breathtaking every step of the way. Views of the Tetons were spectacular. I can't wait to return and ride again. read more

So want to give a better review. The family that owns and operates the ranch ate amazing! Super friendly and make you feel right at home. Steak dinner was good. Steak was cooked great. Corn was so so and baked potato was fine. Dessert was a giant store bought cookie. The sleigh ride was the disappointment. It is a quick tour around the ranch. Small ranch too. Only 100 acres so the sleigh ride was over pretty quick. Our understanding was that we would see about 1500 elk and possibly see some other animals. We saw about 10 elk. The rest of the animals we saw were their personal horses and donkeys. I really wanted to give a better rating bit the night was juts ho-him. read more

We went on a morning ride in mid-September and were really pleased. There were 9 of us and we had no experience riding horses. The team explained everything that we needed to know and what we might expect as they got us on our horses. Once on the trail, our trail boss Corey was very informative and told us all about the landscape, plants and animals. He truly was a cowboy and made us all feel comfortable. He taught us how to sit on the horses depending on whether we were going up or down. Mill Iron takes great care of their horses. It was a pleasure to meet Kim and her team and we highly recommend them. read more

I have been to Mill Iron Ranch twice, first time was with my wife and daughter for the 2 hour ride & dinner. Like the majority of the reviewers here my family loved the trip. The dining hall with all the mounts was a big part of my return to hunting. I just recently finished a successful bull elk hunt at the ranch. The experience was fantastic Kim provided meals three times a day. The horseback riding was a couple of notches above the trail ride - lots of game trails, cross country riding, up and down steep hillsides. Add in the times we tied off the horses and hiked here or there in search of elk and it was quite a physical event. The scenery was amazing throughout the day. The hunt was a team effort which started with Coby asking me what my hunt goals were. Each hunt day Coby, Barry & Dano were right there. Chancy rode with us one day, another day he rode solo up a ridge across the valley from us. Kim would glass the hillsides from her bedroom window during the day as well. Quite a team. It took two and a half days to find an elk that ended up exceeding my goals. During this time all my meals were at the ranch and I felt like a friend of the family, not just another client. The meals were hearty meals that fueled me up each day. Bottom line, the ranch is a great place to go for anything from a two hour trail ride to a multi day hunt adventure. Would I go back? Absolutely! Would I recommend it to a friend? Absolutely - I have and that friends and his family enjoyed their trail ride an dinner as well! read more

I cannot recommend Mill Iron Ranch enough! My fiancé and I got engaged during our long horseback ride back in August. We had a small group with just the two of us and our two good friends. Our friends who were with us have traveled the world (have even been on safaris in Africa) and STILL said it was one of the coolest things they have ever done. The views were absolutely stunning. This horseback ride made me fall in love with Wyoming and even more so with Jackson specifically. We will never forget our incredible engagement, and the horseback ride would've been a lifetime memory regardless! read more

I arranged our trip with Kim. She was helpful and patient. When we arrived, it was exactly what I expected - a beautiful ranch with nice staff. The 2,000 vertical feet of terrain was absolutely beautiful, especially at the top - 360 degree views of Jackson and the Tetons. John was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area, trees, and wildlife. But most of all, he was patient with the different riders in our group. This is a must, if you are going to Jackson! read more

Definitely the highlight of our Jackson Hole trip!!! My 13 year old daughter and I went on the 2 hour trail up the mountain with an amazing tour guide.

It was a little scary on some of the edges, but these horses are just amazing creatures and now what they are doing. read more

booked a sleigh ride and dinner with them. The sleigh ride was very short, but the guide was very good. The reviews on the steaks said it was the best the ever had. It was a very large steak, but size does not make it taste good. Not the nearly the best I've had and for $90 per person, go elsewhere read more

This ride was amazing! We saw other groups in the area riding through fields--lame! At Mill Iron Ranch, they take you up into the Teton wilderness, and you see beautiful wildflowers and incredible sights. The horses were all beautiful, and they clearly care about keeping riders and horses both safe. It's not an easy ride, but it was so fun. Two hours was perfect for us; much longer, and I'm not sure I would've been able to walk the next day! The only suggestion we'd offer would be to stagger arrival times for the rides because check-in was a little chaotic with one person answering phones, getting waivers signed, and weighing riders (yes, you get weighed in before you ride!). read more

We had a fabulous time and a fantastic meal at Mill Iron Ranch. I felt like I was invited over to someone's home for dinner. The food was delicious and the quantities outrageous!

The customer service is terrible! Ride was cancelled due to weather (totally understandable and appreciated). However, when we asked about outdoor dining or takeout option for a dinner booking because of worries about our unvaccinated kids being unmasked indoors around others who are unmasked and potentially not vaccinated (don't want to ruin our vacation by a COVID diagnosis!), the owner refused to rebook us on any ride or accommodate us even paying for the dinner ride and not eating dinner. The kids were really looking forward to this and we are sorely disappointed that somehow political views (for something that should not be at all political) could get in the way of us enjoying this ride, when we were trying to be totally accommodating in the fact that we were the ones putting barriers in the way. The owner also asked extremely rude questions like why are we even traveling if we are concerned (when the facts are that the kids are never indoors with others longer than it takes to pee on this trip) and where we were staying (far after she refused to rebook us), as if she were trying to catch me making some error or something. I have since read a lot of negative reviews about customer service for anyone with any type of issue, so I would not recommend this ranch to anyone. read more
