What a great time! Leia was an amazing guide and was very knowledgeable. She was able to answer all of my questions. Also, my horse, Millie, was so sweet! Such a good girl! The lunch after was also wonderful and it was such a cool atmosphere. Our serve was great as well. I would highly recommend including this in your plans!

Wonderful experience, gorgeous views. Elizabeth was an amazing guide, very friendly and socialable. We thoroughly enjoyed our ride with her. And we highly recommend doing the lunch. The hot chicken sandwich and fries were delicious!

    Awesome experience, and great views. Our guides were McKenna and Rachel. They were so informative, and kind. They made the trail ride even better! Horses were great, and the trail ride exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

    We visited last week and had a fabulous trail ride. The guide, ours was Kayla, was very informative and helpful for guests with little or no experience horseback. She set out with a plan so we would all have a safe and calm trail ride which we did. Crossed riverbed, wiggled through the meadows and gently climbed to a peak where all rides could enjoy the view of the Snake River. They take the ride, rain or shine, unless there is danger present.!! The horses experienced on the terrain and were well behaved. Slickers provided on each horse if a shower pops up.??we took the two hour ride but did not want it to end. Could easily go longer. Given the opportunity, we would go back to Turpin. Very scenic. We had lunch at their lodge,?which was very inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious.

    Beautiful Views and Friendly Guides

    Nice ride, although a bit remote. Try to pick a cool day to do it because there is little to no shade. The included lunch was first rate. You will not be disappointed with the food.

    Great experience for all levels

    Ashley_D, Aug 2026
    Great guide who really knew the land and each horses personality! My mom is not experienced and was a little afraid and they made sure to get her a calm lead horse and continuously checked in on her! Overall great experience

    Awesome trail ride!

    Ainsley was great in teaching us a little on how to ride and took us up hilly beautiful terrain which made it really interesting. The lunch was great. We all loved it and we highly recommend!

    Wonderful Excursion!

    Catalina_A, Jul 2026
    We had an amazing horseback riding experience at Turpin Meadow Ranch! Our guide, Lea, was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make our ride memorable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. The scenery was beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more enjoyable ride. We highly recommend Turpin Meadow Ranch and Lea!

    Most Fun!!

    JJ_D, Jul 2026
    Absolutely loved everything about the horseback ride and Layla was fantastic. My horse Jiggy was fun. We commuted in from Jackson and enjoyed the scenery on several stops to Turpin Ranch. Our wrangler had great personality and was super friendly with lots of information about Turpin and Wyoming. I cannot forget to tell you about Grace, our server who was also fantastic. We wasn’t expecting too much from the kitchen meal but let me say hands down one of the best meals I had. Grilled cheese paired with tomato basil and finished off with skillet s’mores with ice cream. Do Not Miss This!! So good.

    Great experience

    A Nice Ride in the afternoon

    Gus, Jun 2026
    It all started with great lunch before the ride, the ride began an explanation to all the riders on the handling of the horses, then the rise began appx. at 3pm thru the forest area for about 2hrs or so. After the ride we all witness the entire (most) heard taken to pasture, it was really a very cool thing see .

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed lunch, your horseback ride through the forest, and our evening horse dewrangle. Watching the herd run in at the end of the day is a favorite tradition for many of our guests. We hope to welcome you back to the ranch again soon!

    It was a fabulous day. We had 2 fantastic wranglers, Emily and Layla. It rained on us which added to the beauty of the experience.

    Rain or shine, Emily and Lea always make it a fabulous ride. A little rain adds sparkle to the scenery. Thanks for riding with us!

    Robert_M, Jul 2025
    The scenery was wonderful during the trail. The wrangler did an excellent job making my kids feel comfortable, teaching them about English riding and the mountain region, along with matching them with a horse. Please remember to bring bug spray as the ride does go through a forested area.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you for sharing your riding experience here at the ranch. We hope to see you again soon. Safe travels.

    Great Activity in Beautiful Surroundings

    Scenic Trail Ride

    David_L, Jun 2025
    Took our family up to Turpin Meadow Ranch for a trail ride. Could not have had a better experience! Emily, our lead wrangler, was so great with our kids, especially our 9 year old son who was terrified to get on the horse. She made him feel at ease, and engaged with him the whole ride; even playing games with him along the way. The ride itself was beautiful, and the horses were all very well trained and easy to manage. 10/10 would recommend!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! Emily is truly a gem, and we’re so proud of the care and attention she gives to every guest, especially our younger riders. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to her! We hope to welcome you all back again soon for more adventures in the mountains.

    Wonderful Family experience

    Ali_V, Jun 2025
    Had the best afternoon at Turpin Meadow ranch. Stunning scenery, great ride with knowledgeable wrangler who showed our daughter an incredible time. Stay for the afternoon dewrangling. It was amazing. Thank you Leia! We had a great day.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful afternoon at the ranch. It’s always special when a ride leaves lasting memories, especially for the kids! We’ll be sure to pass your thanks along to Lea; she’ll be so happy to know she made your day extra special.

    Relaxing with amazing views!

    Shannon_S, Jun 2025
    Our former exchange student and her fiancé came to visit, so we made a trip out to Yellowstone. Her and I both ride , so I wanted to have a great experience going out in this absolutely beautiful land. Our guide Emily was awesome! We 4 had such a great time! We were here for 4 days and it was probably the highlight of the trip. We made reservations at their restaurant for lunch after and was not disappointed! Yummy food! The game sausage platter and the bison cheesesteak was delicious!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Now that’s how you host visiting VIPs! We’re so glad you saddled up with us and made Turpin part of your Yellowstone adventure. Thank you for the shoutout to Emily for keeping the ride fun and memorable, and we couldn’t agree more about that sausage platter and bison cheesesteak (they tend to steal the show!). Thanks for riding, dining, and making us a highlight of your trip. Come back anytime—there’s always a horse and a plate waiting for you!

    My wife and I had an amazing time. The ranch is absolutely beautiful and the staff was amazing. Our wrangler, Macy, was great and took us on a beautiful, 2 hour tour. Our horses were Hans and Mugs and they were beautiful, well taken care of horses.

    Great ride!

    Best Part of our time in Jackson!!!

    Paul_D, Aug 2024
    Hands down the best part of our trip. We had the pleasure of working getting paired with an excellent wrangler named Ava and would recommend requesting her if you make the trip out. The horses were beautiful and very easy to work with. The ride was so much fun and the ranch is cute and well-kept.
