At Sugarlands Riding Stables, the guide takes you on a true mountain trail with stunning views of the Great Smoky Mountains. The trail wanders through the national park with the blue sky above and a well-trained horse below you. You may see a flock of wild turkeys, a black bear in a tree or chipmunks gathering food for the winter. The one-hour guided tour includes four miles of wooded trails and streams. It is suitable for even beginner riders. The one-and-a-half-hour trail is six miles while the two-hour tour is eight miles with both recommended only for experienced riders.
