Where: Maggie Valley, North Carolina
Perched on a crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the far side of the Cataloochee Divide Trail, this down-home horseback ride offers a serene escape in the heart of the High Country. With the luxury Cataloochee Ranch as their home base, guests and their equine escorts trot at an unhurried pace behind experienced guides, soaking up postcard-perfect views of the vast peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains. The journey ends with a picnic, a cocktail, and an Adirondack chair.
