Tevis Route 2023
We are pleased to officially unveil this year’s modified “snow” route! Last winter brought a record amount of snowfall to the Sierras necessitating some trail reroutes to the 2023 Tevis Cup Ride.
Riders will follow a special and spectacular route which still involves many iconic locations.
Tevis Forum 2023
We’re delighted to present this year’s Tevis Forum – hot off the press and also available online.
To view past issues of the Tevis Forum, they are available going back to 2011.
It’s gonna happen!
Rumors of the 67th Ride’s cancellation are not true.
“I assure you that we have a good trail planned for this year and are actively moving forward. Actually, we are planning more than one route because we like to be agile the way our best horses are.”
