The park's 700 miles of trails are a challenge to visitors, and
horseback riding is a favorite way of enjoying them. Saddle horses are
rented by the Sequoia and General Grant National Parks Co. to
experienced riders without guides for use in the areas between the
Sherman Tree and Moro Rock at $2.50 a half day and $4 a day. A burro may
be had for 25 cents an hour or $1.50 a day. For a minimum party of four
persons, half-day trips will be made to the following places at a cost
of $3 each: Through Giant Forest, Keyhole Tree, High Pine, Abe Lincoln
Tree, Congress Circle, Bear's Bathtub, Huckleberry Meadow, John Muir's
Home, and many other places of special interest.
For parties of four persons or more, 1-day horseback trips at a cost of
$4 each may be made to Alta Peak for views of Kaweah Canyon, the Great
Western Divide, and Mount Whitney, and to Twin Lakes and Heather Lake.
For smaller parties, the charge is slightly more.
A 3-day all-expense trip to Bearpaw Meadow and surroundings can be
arranged.
