Mystic Saddle Ranch/ Outfitters is based near Stanley, Idaho, a tiny town surrounded by the rugged Sawtooth Mountains. The operation is run out of the Redfish Lake area, one of the most scenic corridors in all of Idaho. From short 1.5-hour rides around Redfish Lake to full-day adventures deep into the wilderness, there is genuinely something for every comfort level here. Beginners often start with the shorter Redfish Lake loop, which offers stunning mountain views without the intensity of a long climb. The full-day Alice Lake ride is even more ambitious, covering serious backcountry terrain from sunrise to sunset.
