North Fork by horseback

During the spring months we take most of our horse riding outings up in the North Fork (of Flathead River). This country is inundated with old logging and FS roads that are off limits to motorized vehicles. While most trails in the Flathead are still snow covered, these trails are open and the North Fork scenery is tremendous. This area is great for getting our stock acclimated to mountain riding again.

The beautiful North Fork valleys
The Standard Peak trail still snowed in as of late June
Even in May some of these trails are accessible

We enjoy this area because of its proximity to home and very seldom do we encounter others. If you’re looking for a little trafficked, wonderfully scenic area be sure to check it out.
