点评:We had an absolutely amazing experience with North Fork Trail Rides! Even the drive up to the ranch was part of the adventure—a winding dirt road with spectacular views the entire way. When we arrived, the setting was beautiful and the horses were gorgeous.
We mentioned that we were in Jackson Hole for a wedding and had just been at the rodeo with our wedding group. They introduced us to a young boy at the stable who, as it turned out, was the boy who had won the sheep riding competition at the rodeo that night! We thought that was pretty cool...and it was only the beginning.
Then we got on our horses and met Charles.
We all immediately hit it off with him. Most importantly, Charles was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the horses, and made everyone feel completely safe. We had two people in our group who were a little nervous at first, and he was so calm and reassuring with them. Before long, everyone was relaxed, smiling and laughing.
As we rode, we started learning more and more about Charles—and realized we had actually watched him compete at the rodeo too! Come to find out, our trail guide was quite the saddle bronc rider. And apparently that wasn't enough...we also discovered that he's a world champion Muay Thai fighter. At the beginning of the ride he jokingly told us, “Google me.” Well, Charles, we did. IMPRESSIVE! 😂
The ride itself was incredible. The scenery was breathtaking, the horses were wonderful, and there was something so enjoyable about just riding through this beautiful part of Wyoming, talking and sharing stories. We loved hearing about Charles, his family, his passions and his experiences—and sharing some of ours with him.
We laughed A LOT. We learned about horses. We started to write and record a “country song”, We learned about the “killer chipmunks” , and learned about some his favorite “foods”. He apparently has that perfect combination of dry humor, sarcasm and cowboy charm, and apparently I’m just gullible enough to believe some of the stories. 😂 There were plenty of other stories along the way, but you'll have to book a ride with him to hear those for yourself!
We also took his recommendation and had the cast-iron steak downstairs at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar afterward. He was right—it was amazing!
And I have to add this because after reading some of the other reviews about Charles, I was laughing. There is apparently something about a real Wyoming cowboy who rides broncs, knows horses, tells great stories, makes up country songs, and then casually turns out to be a world champion Muay Thai fighter…. amongst other things. As a very happily married woman...but I think even my husband realizes the cowboy charm is real 😂. My husband and I had the best day!
Sorry for the long review, but the experience deserves it! 😊
All joking aside, Charles was exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, funny, genuine, and just incredibly easy to spend time with. My only complaint is that he didn’t know who Cole Swindell was. 😊
My husband and I are already talking about going back there to try the glamping!
I would absolutely recommend North Fork Trail Rides to anyone visiting Jackson Hole. Everyone we met at the ranch was wonderful, and it was such a fun and memorable experience.
And if you’re lucky enough to ride with Charles, be ready for some great stories and interesting facts...and make sure you ask him what kind of car he drives. 😂
翻译:我们在North Fork Trail Rides的体验简直棒极了!就连开车前往牧场的整个过程都像是一场冒险——蜿蜒的土路两旁是令人陶醉的美景。抵达后,周边的环境十分优美,马儿们也漂亮得不可方物。
我们提到自己正在杰克逊霍尔参加一场婚礼,而且刚刚和婚礼团队一起观看了牛仔竞技表演。他们便把我们介绍给马厩里的一个小男孩,后来发现他……就是那个男孩,他在那晚的牛仔竞技大会上赢得了骑羊比赛!我们觉得这简直太酷了……而这仅仅是个开始。
随后我们骑上马,见到了查尔斯。
我们所有人都立刻和他聊得来。最重要的是,查尔斯极其体贴入微,对马也了如指掌,让每个人都感到无比安心。我们团队里有两个人起初有点紧张,但他用冷静的态度和贴心的安慰打消了他们的顾虑。没过多久,所有人都放松了下来。面带微笑,开怀大笑。
骑行过程中,我们对查尔斯有了越来越多的了解——后来才发现,我们其实还看过他参加牛仔竞技比赛呢!后来我们得知,我们的向导还是一位相当出色的驯马高手。显然这还不够……我们还发现他其实是世界级的泰拳冠军。骑行一开始时,他开玩笑地对我们说:“去谷歌搜搜我吧。”嗯,查尔斯,我们真的搜了。太厉害了!😂
这次骑行体验简直棒极了。沿途的风景美得让人惊叹。那些马儿简直棒极了!在怀俄明州这片美丽的土地上骑马,边聊天边分享故事,真是无比愉快的体验。我们很喜欢听查尔斯讲述他的家人、兴趣爱好以及各种经历——同时也和他分享了我们自己的故事。
我们笑个不停。我们学到了很多关于马的知识。我们开始创作并录制一首“乡村歌曲”。我们还听说了那些“厉害到可怕的花栗鼠”,也了解了他最喜欢的几种“食物”。显然,他拥有那种恰到好处的冷幽默感。带着一丝讽刺意味和牛仔式的魅力,显然我就是天真到会相信他讲的那些故事呢。😂 一路上他还讲了很多其他的故事,不过你得亲自预约他的服务才能亲耳听到哦!
我们还听从了他的建议,之后就在楼下的一美元牛仔酒吧里品尝了铸铁锅煎牛排。他说得没错——真的美味极了!
最后我必须补充一点:看了其他一些关于查尔斯的评论后,我笑得不行。显然,有个真正的怀俄明州牛仔——他能骑野马、懂马性、会讲精彩的故事、还能创作乡村歌曲,而且不知怎么的还成了世界泰拳冠军……诸如此类。作为一个婚姻幸福的女人……不过我觉得就连我丈夫也意识到了这位牛仔的魅力是真实存在的😂。我和丈夫度过了最美好的一天!
抱歉,评论有点长,但这份体验确实值得这样描述!😊
不开玩笑了,查尔斯真的非常出色——知识渊博又体贴入微。风趣、真诚,和他相处起来真的特别轻松愉快。我唯一的小遗憾就是他不知道Cole Swindell是谁。😊
我和丈夫已经在商量着要再去一次,体验一下豪华露营呢!
我绝对会向所有前往杰克逊霍尔的游客推荐North Fork Trail Rides。我们在牧场遇到的每个人都很友善,那是一次既有趣又令人难忘的经历。
如果你有幸能和查尔斯一起骑马,那可准备好聆听各种精彩的故事和有趣的见闻吧……一定要问他开的是什么车哦。😂
