Pack Trips

Click images to enlarge
Picture yourself with an experienced guide, riding native mountain horses, followed by a pack string on the trail to a unique wilderness adventure. Make camp near a crystal clear stream or an isolated mountain lake. Satisfy your appetite with great meals cooked over an open fire. Afterwards, sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet under a starlit sky.

The trip is yours to plan. Perhaps a day ride to a pristine lake for photography or fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, or golden trout. Or perhaps a sightseeing excursion to observe deer, elk, an elusive eagle, and the vast variety of wildflowers native to our mountains.
