#RideNevada

It's our goal to see as much as possible of Nevada on horseback - from ghost towns to roadside attractions to state parks to historic trails to the backcountry places and everything in between. We are almost always exploring some part of the state and working on a few projects, which you can learn about below.

Nevada State Parks Project

We want to be the first to complete the Nevada State Parks passport challenge entirely on horseback! Visitors must get their passport stamped at 15 parks to complete the challenge.

Our final park visit will be Saturday, May 3 at Mormon Station State Historic Park in Genoa. Come out to cheer us on as we ride in to get our passport stamped! We will arrive immediately following the Western Heritage Days parade.

Our Current #: 14

Tahoe Rim Trail Ride

In September 2025, we will attempt to thru ride the Tahoe Rim Trail. The 165-mile trail loops around the Lake Tahoe Basin, through rugged wilderness, forests, meadows, and alpine lakes.

Nevada Horse Trails Project

What good is all this exploration if we can't share it with others? We are building a free database of every horse friendly trail, campground, guest ranch, and more in the state to help other equestrians #RideNevada too!

Old Spanish Trail Project

The Old Spanish Trail was a network of trade routes used to link Santa Fe and Los Angeles starting in the 1830s. It took traders about three months to make the arduous trek through New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Today, the Old Spanish Trail is a designated National Historic Trail, jointly managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service.

In spring 2026, we will ride sections of the OST in Nevada to discover what the trail is like nearly 200 years later. (This project was originally planned for February 2025, but was delayed.)

Nevada Ranges Project

Nevada is the most mountainous US state with approximately 300 named ranges. A big chunk of the interior part of the state is restricted federal/military land so we know we won't be able to ride every mountain range in Nevada, but we're trying to ride as many of them as we can!

Nevada Counties Project (COMPLETE)

Our goal was to ride in all of Nevada's 17 counties and we accomplished this goal in September 2024!
