Matching your riding ability with the demands of a pack-trip is critically important. For your safety, the safety of your horse, and the safety of other members of the trip, it is important to acknowledge that you have the appropriate riding skills and experience level, as well as the physical strength and stamina needed to participate in a backcountry pack trip.
Backcountry wilderness pack trips are not for beginner riders, and trips are limited to strong intermediate or advanced riders. Participants must be in good physical condition and able to mount a horse independently. Some trails may take you over steep mountain terrain or passes and require long hours in the saddle. Because of the remote location, we cannot stop a trip or return guests to the ranch unless it is an emergency. No one wants to feel pushed beyond their limits or held back by other riders.
Our pack‑trip meals are prepared using a fully portable wilderness kitchen, where storage, equipment, and cooking conditions are limited. Because of these backcountry realities, we’re not able to accommodate special dietary requirements.
To ensure this trip is appropriate for you, we request the following information before a reservation can be made. Please help us by being realistic about your own ability.
