Riding in California spans the High Sierra, the coast and the desert. Pack stations along US 395 in the Eastern Sierra run summer and fall trips into the Inyo National Forest and the John Muir Wilderness. Horses are allowed on most trails and beaches of Point Reyes National Seashore, while Anza-Borrego Desert State Park’s equestrian trails are ridden from fall to spring. Guest ranches and trail rides dot the coastal and wine-country hills.
