Sunset Ranch Hollywood Trail Rides

Sunset Ranch gives you a taste of the old west in Hollywood. Located in a corner of Griffith Park the ranch offers guided trail rides into the Hollywood hills. The ranch has been here since 1954 when it was relocated from Culver City. Over the years the ranch has been used for training actors and actresses how to ride, film shoots and taking regular folks for a scenic ride in Griffith Park. At Sunset Ranch you have a choice of a one or two hour trail ride. The staff is very friendly and will try to match you up with a horse that matches your personality. If you have never ridden horseback stick to the one hour ride. The minimum age for a rider is seven (under 15 must be accompanied by an adult riding). No reservations are required for day rides with groups of less then ten people.
