Horse Riding and Camping
Love horses? Check out this guide to find places to camp and ride your horses within the Forests. The Salmon River Ranger District Horse & Hiking Trails guide is available on-line and at Forest offices.
Keep in mind the following while horse riding on the Forests:
- Trail etiquette for multiple use trails calls for horses to have the right-of-way. Hikers should yield to horses. Bicyclists should yield to horses and hikers. Horse riders are responsible for the control of their horse at all times.
- Many trails are open to multiple non-motorized uses, meaning the trails are shared by hikers, horse riders, and bicyclists. Information on allowed trail uses is available on trailhead signs and the National Geographic-Trails Illustrated map for the area, or by contacting the nearest Ranger District office.
- Pack it in, pack it out
