The Bar W Guest Ranch - Whitefish MT - Public Trail Rides

Family Trail Ride & Wagon Ride

Season runs from May 18 – November 2, 2025 (weather dependent)
THERE IS CONSTRUCTION ON HIGHWAY 93 IN FRONT OF THE RANCH. PLEASE ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES TO ARRIVE ON TIME!

Experience the magic of the Montana wilderness with your family and enjoy a 1-Hour Trail Ride, followed by a 45-Minute Wagon Ride at Bar W Guest Ranch.

On Sundays and Wednesday afternoons we are offering a one-hour trail ride suitable for children 7 years old and older. During that time, any “littles” ages 2-6 would be able to ride some of our most gentle kid horses while a wrangler leads them around. We will also have our goats available for everyone to pet and enjoy.

All of this is followed by a wagon ride around the ranch for all to enjoy. At the end, Bar W will be providing a Sweet Peaks ice cream cone to all children 12 and under. Others are welcome to purchase their favorite Sweet Peaks ice cream as well!
