Autumn Is About Here; It’s Time For Hay Rides

We've turned the calendar to September and that means that Autumn will not be far off. It's the time of year to watch the colors in the valley change, go pick out a pumpkin or two at a local pumpkin patch, or take the family on a hay ride.

Just a heads up that the Sunrise Pack Station also offers sleigh rides in the winter. You can enjoy a Christmas ride bundled up on a sleigh pulled by two draft horses. The ride includes a stop for a hot chocolate next to a warm campfire with stars overhead and the Bridger Mountains in the background.
