Route details

As the sun begins to rise on the first day of our journey, we saddle up our horses at the ranch and set out towards our base camp nestled next to a clear mountain stream. The air is crisp and cool, sending shivers down our spines as we ride through the lush green valleys and rugged terrain.

If the weather permits, we will have a quick stop to take a dip in clean mountain lakes. Once we reach the camp by the evening, we will have a delicious dinner cooked in a dutch oven just like the pioneers in the old days!

about provider

The horse packing trip through meadows, forests, wetlands and up into the mountains was so incredible and beautiful. I loved the rhythm and pace Armin set, the chance to explore new trails, taking time to identify native plants and trees, view the numerous beaver dams, enjoy the lakes, streams and bogs and, of course, take in the awesome views every minute of the day. I loved the teamwork of horses, riders (there were four of us), dogs and the leadership of Armin and Mykaela. I loved the food (great cooking Armin!), the campfire chats and the easy comraderie we had. I truly didn’t want our ride to end. I loved it! Thank you Armin, Mandy and family for sharing your passion and your lifestyle.

about provider

I had an awesome three day horse packing trip. The owners are super friendly. The two guides Justin and Scott were very seasoned horsemen. The riding was a lot of fun. Narrow winding trails, traversing streams and ponds with water up to the horses belly. We made it up to the top of a small mountain on day 2 with 360 degree views as well as two other hillsides with amazing views in different directions. The base camp equipment (tents and thermarests) were very good quality and in great shape. The base camp also has a larger prospectors tent with a wood stove which was really appreciated on the one evening that it rained as we were able to have dinner in a dry warm place. Just to be clear - this is NOT glamping. This is a true wilderness pack trip. No showers, no running water but these are the kinds of trips that I love. The food was great and Mandy (the owner's baked goods) are super yummy. If you want a great wilderness camping experience with some slightly more challenging riding (including some way finding and cutting of new trails) with some lovely mountain views, then don't hesitate to go wiith this company.

Mandy and her staff were understanding and patient, working with me the day before to reintroduce me to riding after a horseback riding accident 5 years ago. I was matched with a wonderful horse who gave me the most amazing experience as we traveled through Boreal forests to a scenic overlook with a mountain view that took my breath away. Oh, and my husband loved the adventure as well, as it was his idea:)
