Highlights
Journey through the majestic Redwood National and State Parks on horseback with Crescent Trail Rides, where towering ancient trees and fern-lined trails create an unforgettable riding experience. As you weave through the hushed grandeur of the redwoods, the dappled sunlight filters through the massive canopy, casting a magical glow on the forest floor. The gentle sway of your horse beneath you enhances the peaceful connection to this ancient landscape.
Along the way, you’ll pass through lush undergrowth filled with ferns, wildflowers, and moss-covered logs, while possibly spotting local wildlife like bears, Roosevelt elk, red-tailed hawks, and maybe even a shy banana slug. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about the redwood ecosystem, its history, and the vital role these towering giants play in our environment. Every step on the trail is a journey through time, as some of these trees have stood for over a thousand years.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or new to the saddle, this guided ride offers a unique perspective of the redwoods that few get to experience. Feel the cool forest air, listen to the soft creak of the trees, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders.
