Testimonials
For anyone in or visiting the Asheville area, this is a wonderful way to get out of town and into nature. A trail ride through the Smokey Mountains is just the thing to calm nerves and feed your heart. Gary selected a docile horse for me, and showed me the basics of riding before we set off. The trails were steep, as you’d imagine in the mountains, but the horses were surefooted and I had no problems get the hang of riding.The mountain trails were through lush treed forests that opened in expansive views of of the mountains. …

Great Place To Go – Roanoke, Virginia
My family and I went on our first two-hour rail ride at the Smoky Mountain Bison Farm. All though there wasn’t a whole lot to see it was still a fun thing to do.The whole time we was at the Smokey Mountains this would have been one of the most visited places we went. They have good service and the people there was nice.This is a great place to visit when on Vacation or for just a weekend get away. This is a place that I would love to go back to with my family or friends again.
