Rides and Rates
Rockin R Rides, Inc is now offering exclusive, small group, personalized trail rides based at a private setting. We ride into the Willow Creek/Castle Rock area of the Black Hills National Forest just outside of Custer, SD.
History abounds in the area including being in the region of the historic Meeker Ranch.
(We still provide rides on trails of the Buckhorn Range where we have been operating for past 20 seasons.)
Whether you are an experienced or novice rider, Rockin R has scenic options for the entire family.
Our rides are single file, guided and walking to allow you to relax and enjoy the beauty of
the Black Hills.
