    Went on the most beautiful ride we saw moose and deer very nice place to go ride horses

    Riding on the ridge.  Beautiful views even when the Tetons are partially covered in rain clouds!

    Willow Creek Horseback Rides saved the day! We had reservations at another horseback riding group, but it had been raining off and on and the morning of our ride, that group cancelled our reservation though the raining had stopped for the most part. We didn't get the message until 1pm and were leaving early the next day, so our family of five was very disappointed that we weren't going to get to ride horses. I decided to take a chance and see if Willow Creek had any cancellations at the last minute, and to my surprise they made it happen for us. When we arrived we were amazed at how beautiful the whole area is there, and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. They made us inexperienced riders feel right at home, and they took us on a 2+ hour ride which will be the highlight of our trip. Despite the rainy weather which unfortunately hid part of the amazing Teton views from the ridge, the views were still astounding, and the horses were all great. We are very grateful to Willow Creek for allowing us to ride that day! It was a memory none of us will ever forget. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to do some horseback riding in the Jackson Hole area!

    This is about as good as the scenery got on our ride.

    We booked this 1-hour horseback trip for myself, my wife, and my 8-year-old son and did not think to check the price. Willow Creek is almost 3x what every other company in Wyoming charges, including their sister company just down the road. Our guide was Kendra, who was very nice but had just graduated from high school and only been on the job for 10 days. She barely talked at all so there was no context for what you are seeing or even any facts about the horses you are riding. Perhaps not her fault since she was new, but for this price, I expect much more from a guide. The guides in the nearby national park were much better, the scenery much nicer, and the price was ~1/3 as much. The trail she took us on did not have that much to see. The only advantage to this ride over the national park ride was we were able to use our cameras. In the end, we felt taken advantage of and it ruined my son's 8th birthday. Certainly, it was our fault for not asking the price ($435 for the 3 of us for a one-hour ride). Please don't make the same mistake that we did. There are much better options for horseback riding in the area.

    Mouse on the extreme RT.

    Scenery and staff were great. Richard was the best guide. Great half day ride. Top notch adventure. Highly recommend. Ps: Mouse is the best horse out there. It's a completely impartial review and not because he was the horse i rode the whole day.

    If you want a real western ride through breathtaking country and views of the Tetons, Willow Creek hits the jackpot. We drove a litte farther out of town so that we could enjoy the tranquility and rustic riding trails where you won't see another human or cross any city traffic. Richard was our wrangler who pointed out the wild life and took our family pictures with the Grand Tetons in the background dotted with purple and yellow flowers and ponds. My horse, Champagne, was a gem, as were all of our horses. The scenery is spectacular and the wranglers were friendly...we are definitely coming back here and recommend this to everyone visiting the Jackson area.

    A bit pricey for what they offer- premium pricing for a relatively lower budget experience

    What an amazing experience! I did the 2-hour horseback trail ride. I was impressed by how genuinely…read morepassionate 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.

    We had an absolutely fabulous trail ride here! This trail ride is breathtaking. The pictures you…read moretake will never due justice to what your eyes actually see. The horses are well taken care of and the people we meet were very nice. We read the reviews before booking here and I can say that the family owned operation is well run. Yes the lady is not very computer savvy just be a little patient. But who's in a hurry when you are out in the beautiful country side. After our ride we stayed for the bbq and I'm telling you that was the best T bone steak I have had in a really long time. It was delicious !! We can't wait to go back to this ranch for another ride and bbq. You will not be disappointed.

    Avoid this place at all costs - a disappointing and concerning experience…read more We honestly cannot understand how this place has so many positive reviews. If you care even a little about animal welfare, you will immediately notice that something feels wrong when you arrive. This place feels like a tourist machine rather than an authentic ranch experience. Dozens of horses are lined up, already saddled, and spend the day tied up waiting for the next group. There are no real pastures around. The horses that are not tied are kept in small pens, with no grass and far too many horses in a limited space. As an experienced rider, I was extremely disappointed by the ride itself. We paid $260 for an experience that was advertised on their website as a way to see wildlife. This was the main reason we chose this company. After only five minutes on horseback, I asked our guide what animals we might have the chance to see. His answer was very honest but incredibly disappointing: he told us we would probably see nothing because the trails are used dozens of times every day and animals avoid the area. Ironically, we saw a moose and a weasel less than a mile from the ranch on the road. The "Big View Grand Teton" ride ($140 per person) is honestly just a basic out-and-back trail. You start in a completely flat open area, then do a short climb through the forest to reach a mediocre viewpoint, before going back down through almost the exact same scenery. The entire ride is at a walk. No one asked about our riding experience; horses were simply assigned when we arrived based on our height. Of course, the whole ride was at a slow walk, which made the experience incredibly boring for anyone who actually knows how to ride. For the price, the scenery was not memorable, the experience was not authentic, and the promise of seeing wildlife was completely misleading. If you are looking for a true Western horseback experience, go somewhere else. Stay at a real ranch for a night or more, and you will have the opportunity to ride for several hours through much more beautiful and varied landscapes, while supporting places where horses have a better quality of life. This place was a huge disappointment and, in our opinion, not representative of what a real ranch experience should be. It is truly a shame to see that, in 2026, some establishments are still treating horses this way. These animals deserve much better than being treated as a simple tourist attraction.
