Escape to APHA’s annual Fort Robinson trail ride
Cap off your summer with an all-inclusive vacation—APHA’s Fort Robinson Trail Ride. Rich in the history of the American West, Fort Robinson served as a military outpost from 1874 to 1948 and is located in the heart of the rugged Pine Ridge region of northern Nebraska. Crazy Horse, Red Cloud and Walter Reed were just a few of the historic figures who helped carve the fort’s place in history.
