RIDING THE WEST

Since 2006, a group of equine enthusiasts has celebrated the new year with a ride from Beaver Creek to Trout Creek. This year, 14 people joined the group on horseback for the ride last Saturday. They stopped to rest and warm up next to a fire for lunch at the Whitepine Cemetery. The group gets permission from land owners to cross private property in areas where it is unsafe to ride along Highway 200.
