The weather has been so nice here lately we had to get the horses out on a little longer outing. One of our favorite rides is to take Granite Creek trail off of Skyland road to the Middle Fork. The drive up to this trailhead is very enjoyable

This trail had been cut so it was just a great leisurely ride with very little work. 

This is about a 11 mile round trip ride if you take the cut off trail down to the river. If you travel down to the FS cabin you are looking at about 12 miles.

We just went to see the country and have a picnic. No fishing today although the water looked very inviting.

This was a beautiful sunshine day that did get a little warm in the afternoon. Our horses aren’t fully conditioned yet and Tanner wasn’t drinking enough from the creeks. So he got a little special service.
