Go if

Horse campers hitting the Pine Ridge Trail in spring will find this close to ideal: corral, rider ramp, stock water, wildflowers, and only three other parties to share it with. Bring certified weed-free hay, it's required.

Skip if

No horses means no real reason to be here over other Pine Ridge options. Stock water isn't guaranteed in dry months, so late-summer riders need to pack supplemental supply for their animals.
