Re: [RC] [Guest] Trails & Camping - Jeannie GillenI agree....California has a lot of trail, open to horses.....The PCT has an internet site, complete with current conditions. One word of caution about the PCT...."WATER".....depending on the time of year, and/or annual rainfall....make sure you can get water for your horses along the trail.......that can sometimes be the most difficult part of the ride...... Since you are not in California, I can tell you that National Park Policy is that "unless otherwise posted, horses can ride all trails"........so you might want to check out National Parks....again, go online to Department of the Interior, Long Distance Trails....... One such LD Trail I rode is from Hermosillo Mexico to San Francisco California in 1996. The Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail....It has many portions of trail that is horse friendly....although some portions are not, need work, or may never be. Coyote Canyon in Anza Borrego State Park....is the most horse friendly part of that historic trail...and offers a 28 mile canyon, you can ride and camp in.....find a stream, some palm trees, dig a pit in the sand to cook in......hobble your horse, or tether to some sage......and sleep on ground with your saddlebags for a pillow....it is a great experience, and very empowering in this day and age of "survival".... Good luck, be safe and have fun.....

In Oregon, this trail is available to horses and hikers and you can camp the whole length. It is also very scenic. Members from Oregon Equestrian Trail (OET) have ridden this trail, camped out, and would have information regarding any problems to watch out for. The trail winds through the mountains and in some places goes by some horse camps with corrals, such as Quinn Meadows at the base of the Three Sisters. Good luck on your trip.
