Whether you are an accomplished rider or have never been in the saddle, riding at the R Lazy S will be a pleasurable experience that you will long remember. Since most of the pleasure of riding comes from good horses, beautiful scenery and confidence in the control of one's horse, the Ranch chooses it mounts and trails with care and pays particular attention to teaching the essentials of good horsemanship and trail riding.

Our riding arenas provide safe places for instruction and we encourage interested guests to take advantage of it. From our fine stable of over 80 horses, we select one that best fits your ability and experience and you keep that horse and tack for the length of your stay.
Scenic Rides: Morning and afternoon riders are divided into small groups according to ability and each is led by an experienced wrangler. The R Lazy S has approximately 17 different all-day rides. one may leave on horseback directly from the Ranch for rides to Phelps Lake or Granite Canyon. Horses and guests are also transported by truck and horse trailer for regularly scheduled rides to many trails in the valley, including rides to the "hard to get to" summer range of Wyoming's big game - elk, moose, buffalo, antelope, and deer.
Fishing
The R Lazy S has direct access to several miles of private frontage on the Snake River, one of the West's top trout fishing streams. The Gros Ventre and Teton Rivers, plus many other streams and mountain lakes, known for the quality of fish caught, are also nearby. Highly qualified, licensed fishing guides are available for fishing trips and can give the novice fisherman instruction at the Ranch's stocked fishing pond. We ask our guests to release any fish that they do not wish to eat. Our cooks are happy to prepare your catch for breakfast, just the way you like it.
