Giant sycamores and a crackling campfire provide a beautiful backdrop for a western breakfast at our historic Adobe Camp. After you have had some of the best flapjacks you’ll ever taste, you will saddle up and be on your way. Our famous breakfast horseback ride consists of a 45-minute to 1-hour horseback ride each way with a stop for breakfast. If a horseback ride to breakfast isn’t your thing, or you have children not yet old enough for a trail ride, you may also choose to hop aboard the hay wagon for an unforgettable ride of a different sort. Breakfast at the Adobe Camp offers eggs, bacon, sausage, quesadillas, cereals, pastries, and more, with juices, coffee, hot cocoa, and milk.

AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND
Available 2-3 times per week. Please check seasonal activity guide for days and times.
