This is a walking ride that travels on single-track trails and wide ranch roads. There will be several easy-to-rocky and difficult climbs. The ride will start in the Augustine staging area and travel through the Limestone Preserve to Box Springs and the West Sinks viewing area. Equestrians who have trail riding experience and their own fit and able horse are welcome. You will need to transport your horse to the staging area.
