Getting here
Location & directions
Western Pleasure Guest Ranch is located just 16 scenic miles northeast of the beautiful small town of Sandpoint, Idaho.
Location
Resting at the base of the Selkirk Mountains in North Idaho’s Panhandle region, the community of Sandpoint can be found 60 miles south of the Canadian border and 75 miles northeast of Spokane, Washington.
Sandpoint sits on the shores of the spectacular Lake Pend Oreille, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the United States. At 43 miles in length, Lake Pend Oreille is the fifth deepest lake (1,158 feet at its greatest depth) in the United States with 111 miles of shoreline. Its pristine waters are a major factor in the community of Sandpoint’s high ranking as a premier tourist destination. The reality is that the only way to get a full grasp on the natural beauty of Northern Idaho is from a breathtaking scenic vista, atop a Western Pleasure horse.
For those visiting the ranch in the winter, you will be glad to know that 26 miles from the ranch is Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort. Schweitzer is a pristine jewel situated in the Selkirk Mountains and is the perfect location for your next ski vacation.
