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

Kids Horse 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!

Bar W Guest Ranch is offering Kids Horse Rides for children ages 2-6 years old. They can ride some of Bar W’s most gentle kid horses while a wrangler leads them around. Petting our goats is a guest favorite and the kiddos will be able to feed some snacks to the goats.

After the Kids Horse Ride is over, the kid(s) and accompanied adult(s) can enjoy the horse-drawn wagon ride around the Bar W property.

At the very end, we will be providing a Sweet Peaks ice cream cone for all the kids ages 12 and under. Others are welcome to purchase their favorite Sweet Peaks ice cream as well!

For parents not on the trail ride, experience the charm of Whitefish with a delightful draft-horse-drawn Wagon Ride at Bar W Guest Ranch. As you settle into the cozy wagon, the gentle giants, draft horses, will guide you through breathtaking landscapes, where the crisp mountain air and stunning views create an unforgettable backdrop. Along the way, listen to stories of the ranch's history and the rich traditions of the area, while the rhythmic clip-clop of the horses' hooves adds a soothing soundtrack to your journey.
