Bob Marshall Wilderness Pack-Trips

explore Remote, Unspoiled, and Magnificent landscapes

The Bob Marshall Wilderness is considered the “crown jewel” of America’s wilderness system. The complex features over a million acres of pristine land, where the only travel allowed is by foot or horse. This makes our Montana pack trips the perfect way to explore the incredible landscape of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Home to nature’s array of wildlife – elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, eagles, moose, and bear, to name a few- this wilderness area is also a fisherman’s paradise. Untouched streams and small, remote alpine lakes hold native Cutthroat and Rainbow trout.

pack trip specifics

SPECIFICS: Backcountry wilderness pack trips are not for beginner riders, and participants must be in good physical condition, including the ability to mount their horse independently. Some trails may travel over steep mountain terrain with long hours in the saddle. Trips are limited to 10 guests (minimum of 6), and must be over the age of 12 to participate. The weight limit for pack trips is 240#. Not recommended if a special diet is required. We have the right to change the day-to-day itinerary based on unforeseen circumstances, weather, forest fires, rider ability, etc. Because our horses work hard to travel long days in mountain terrain, loping is not an option on most trips.
