Horse riding and pony trekking are popular activities in Yosemite National Park, in the spectactular Sierra Nevada. Riders can stay at various types of lodging in the park, including cabins, cottages, and lodges, or camp out in the wilderness.

A form of long-distance riding with the aim of exploring the countryside. Excursions take at least a day and sometimes much longer. As a recreational activity pony trekking originated in the western states of the USA. It was pioneered in the UK in the early 1960s, particularly in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. It has since become a popular holiday pursuit, helped by the increasing number of designated bridle paths.
