GUIDED PACK TRIPS (#s 1 and 2) : A full service pack trip is an enjoyable way to extend your stay into the wilderness.

camping equipment is provided and great tasting family style meals are prepared for you. You’ll need only your own sleeping bag and

personal gear. (Adjustment in menu can be arranged for guests with special dietary needs. Sleeping bags can be rented.)

drop camp fee includes the trip in and out, and you may stay as many days as you

wish at no extra charge. These trips are often popular with fisherm en.

resorts, motels, cabins or developed campgrounds in the Gunnison Country and plan daily activities from there. We can provide you with a top quality back- country trail ride for a full day or half day. You may depart from a variety of scenic and challenging trailheads on the Gunnison National Forest. If you wish to spend part of your full day trip trout fishing, we can ride to some productive high mountain lakes, streams and beaver ponds. We do not ride from a stable, but trailer to a trailhead.
