There
is no better way to experience Southern Oregon
in all her natural glory; trails meandering through
wildflower strewn meadows, by pristine mountains lakes,
amidst majestic firs and lofty pines. The panoramic
views are breathtaking and wildlife abounds. There's
a special magic to sitting atop a gentle horse as he
climbs to new heights in Oregon's Pacific Crest Trail,
splashes through creeks, and pauses to look out over
the Rogue valley with you. Raft & Ride
combination is the best way to experience
all the beauty Southern Oregon has to offer.
You can see what Man
has made from the back of an automobile. But the best
way to see what God has made is from the back of a
horse."
- Charles M. Russell
Horseback
riding trips take you into the nether reaches
of pristine wilderness of the Cascade, and Siskiyou mountain
ranges beyond the reach of civilization and even hikers
instead of watching your feet you get to watch the beautiful
scenery. The horses are gentle and steady, making the
ride a pure pleasure for the experienced cowpoke or first
time greenhorn. Our horseback riding trips are for children
and adults of all levels. Just sit back in the saddle
and let us pamper you Western style.
Leslie
Hunter of City Slicker Trail Rides handles all
of the horseback riding trips. Ms. Hunter has worked
with horses for more then 28 years and loves the outdoors
and sharing her knowledge of horses, the local fauna
and wildlife you encounter on the trail ride.
Raft & Ride
combination is the best way to truly
experience all the beauty & excitement that Southern
Oregon has to offer. The Raft & Ride trips include ½ day
Rogue River white water trip combined with 2
hours of horseback riding in the mountains surrounding Ashland.
It's your choice either horseback riding in the morning
and rafting in the afternoon or rafting first then horseback
riding.

- Guides & Staff: Anyone who has taken an Adventure
Center Trip can tell you that our entire staff,
from van drivers to guides, is the best in the
industry. Unlike other companies, the Adventure
Center has almost no employee turnover. You will

year. This allows us to run all our rivers & horseback
riding trips with returning professionals and it
assures that all of the procedures are run smoothly. We
have a guide named Jerry who has navigated these
same rivers for 25 years; that's the experience
that other companies talk of, but we let our faculty
stand as the truth! All guides are swift water
certified, C.P.R and First Aid certified, and undergo
an intensive week long guide camp on the powerful
Class 5 Cal-Salmon and Scott rivers. Our excellent
employees are the reason we have repeat customers
or, as we like to call them, friends who return
year after year.
