Guided Pack Trips
For folks with a hearty sense of adventure, there is no finer vacation than a wilderness pack trip in the rugged Wind River Mountains. Our Guided Pack Trips allow you to enjoy riding, hiking, fly fishing or just relaxing while camping in the heart of the mountains. Our guides prepare wonderful meals, tend camp, and guide you on rides and/or hikes from basecamp each day.
As outdoor educators, we share our knowledge of the local ecosystem, horsemanship, backcountry camping, navigation, edible plants and more. We furnish all camp equipment and food. You only need to bring your sleeping bag/pad, personal clothing and optional fishing gear. This is our deluxe trip - let us do the work!
There are a couple ways to structure this trip; either using horses to ride in/out of camp, then camping without horses and going on daily hikes, or camping with horses and going for daily rides. Each style of trip has its benefits. If you’d like to camp next to a lake, go on day hikes that can be as short or as long as you’d like, and spend more time fishing, painting, writing, etc., then camping without horses is the way to go. If you’d like to spend more time in the saddle throughout the week, then camping with horses may be the better fit for you. For a horse-camping trip, we camp along a river and ride to surrounding lakes, spending anywhere from 4-7 hours roundtrip in the saddle each day. Both options require strong physical fitness as you will be exploring at high elevation in rugged terrain.
*Please note we have limited availability for our Guided Pack Trips, as they are the most sought-after and also labor-intensive trips. In order to be guaranteed a private trip, you must have a group of 6+ people. Individuals or small groups can join onto a trip with other parties for a group total of up to 10 people maximum, or you can also sign onto a Specialty Trip.
Please read the Terms & Policies and visit the FAQ page. Please see our remaining available dates for 2026.

*If you’d like to reserve a night at the ranch before the start of your pack trip, the cost is an additional $150/person for lodging + dinner + breakfast.
