High Country Pack-In Drop Camps - Horseback Vacations

Our summer drop camps are very popular with guests who are experienced and comfortable being on their own in the backcountry. They are perfect for backpackers wanting to hike and explore the high country, fishermen and families wishing to get away from the crowds.

These are unguided, pre-set camps set in the heart of the wilderness, surrounded only by the beauty and solitude of this vast country.

Camps are accessible only by horseback and mule pack string. Camps consist of a wall tent with canvas floor and rain fly, cots, foam pads, wood stove, LP hotplates, cooking utensils, table, chairs, axe, bow saw, Coleman lanterns, and a Motorola radio providing direct communication with Base Camp.

We pack your group, personal gear and food into a pre-set camp that is ready for your arrival. Each guest is provided a saddle horse or mule for the ride to camp. At the end of the stay, the packers will return with saddle horses and mule pack string for your return trip to base camp.

Personal gear, including sleeping bag, should be packed in one canvas duffle bag weighing fifty pounds or less. Food should be limited to fifty pounds per person. If you?re into doing-it-yourself, our high country pack-in drop camps are perfect for you.
