About
Bitter Creek Outfitters is a family-operated business providing scenic, guided horseback trail rides 5 miles from downtown Billings, Montana. We'll treat you to a leisurely trek through our Angus cattle ranch atop the area's distinctive rimrocks. We'll show you spectacular views of five different mountain ranges and a unique perspective of the city. We keep our group sizes small (max 6 people) promising a personalized, unforgettable experience for beginners & advanced riders alike! AGE, HEIGHT/WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS APPLY. PLEASE SEE WEBSITE FOR DETAILS. We are a full-time ranch, part-time trail riding outfit so advanced reservations are required. We do not keep our horses saddled in the corral & ready to go! Season runs June thru October, weather permitting. Rides typically start at 8 or 9am, 7 days/week, avoiding afternoon rides during peak summer heat. Let us know what works best & we'll do our best to fit you in!

We had such a wonderful experience. Not only was it amazing riding, the landscape and the information given by Theresa about its history and family made it even better. We will definitely be back to enjoy the horses and Bitter Creek Outfitters Family. We highly recommend Bitter Creek Outfitters:)

Theresa was a fantastic trail boss. Her horses are beautifully cared for and extremely well behaved . My daughter and I did the 2-hr ride and found it worth every penny. The ranch is stunning and Theresa provided lots of opportunities for photos and also took photos of us. I will 100% plan another ride on my next visit to Billings.

What an amazing experience! Teresa was our guide and we could not have asked for a better guide. She was so cheerful, informative, and helpful. Loved her frequent input about the history of the areas we traveled. As a plus, they take such good care of their horses, which is really nice to see. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to experience excellent horseback riding in the beautiful Yellowstone county!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Theresa on a beautiful morning trail ride. Theresa was so patient with us and our horses Gray and Smokey were amazing. This experience was the highlight of our first trip to Montana.

Theresa, our leader and Dick, assistant, gave us a wonderful 2 hour tour of the family ranch. Theresa provided very interesting information about the ranch, immediate area, and Montana! The horses were easy to ride and the ground was pretty level. Not a difficult ride at all and very relaxing. We highly recommend this horse riding tour in Billings, MT.

This was a pleasant, relaxing and beautiful time astride gentle and easy horses. The owner and her riding partner were warm and welcoming, and provided a good insight into the history, geography and culture of the area. The ranch is beautiful. I would definitely recommend this as part of a Montana vacation.

Theresa was a wonderful guide and runs a great trailride experience. She was super knowledgeable about the area, the views were great, and the horses healthy and happy. We've done many trail rides, and this is one of our top ones.

Hi Stephanie! We stay open as long as the weather cooperates--late October can be a little unpredictable but we do our best to stay open into November. We can definitely get you on the schedule and keep in touch with you as the date approaches. The cost is $80 for a 2-hour ride or $60 for one hour. Feel free to send me an email or you can make reservations on our website.
Thanks for contacting us!
