If you don’t want to use your own legs to get around Napa Valley [1], consider borrowing the four strong legs of a horse. Take a break from the endless vineyards and explore some of Napa’s most beautiful parks with the Triple Creek Horse Outfit (707/933-1600, www.triplecreekhorseoutfit.com [2]).
Choose from Jack London State Historic Park, Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, or Bothe-Napa Valley State Park in Calistoga. Rides run 1–3 hours and cover a variety of terrain. Explore both the natural beauty and the historic significance of these parts of Napa.
Whether you’re an experienced rider or this is your first time on a horse, Triple Creek will find the right horse for you. Check with the ranch for limitation on rider age, fitness, and weight.
