Up in the northern "panhandle," the town of Sandpoint (about an hour 20 minutes north of Coeur d'Alene) autumn is one of the best times of year to enjoy the region's spectacular mountainscapes and quaint towns. And it’s also the perfect time to visit this ranch, with accommodations in a lodge as well as log cabins.The season’s colors makes trail rides here unforgettable, under heavenly blue skies amid vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. Western pleasure, indeed!

It's one of the ranches spotlighted in Tripatini contributor Bea Villiers' post Fall for North America on these 8 Horse-Ranch Holidays.
