Private Rides start at $90 for a refreshing morning ride to begin your day before hiking, fishing, napping or wine tasting tours begin. We can also schedule this ride for mid-day depending on the time of year. Mountaintop Ranch is surrounded by the National Park on 3 sides and is an isolated oasis. You will get to enjoy the beauty of the Mountains on a guided ride that is for both first time or skilled riders.

You can spend 2-3 hours on horseback riding the 400 acres of Mountaintop Ranch exploring the Appalachian trails as they did 100 years ago …on horseback. This ride goes through the wilderness trails and climbs up to the high mountain meadow giving you and a 360-degree view of the Blue Ridge and The Shenandoah National Park. The view is better than any offered on the Park itself.
