2011 Scheduled Pack Trips

Hidden Corral
3-DAY PACK TRIP
July 7-9, 2011

This Wyoming pack trip leaves from the Coyote Meadows trailhead and travels along the south fork of Bitch Creek. Prepare to ride your horse through a rocky trail alongside the roaring Bitch Creek Narrows. We'll make camp for two days at the edge of a spectacular mountain meadow, known as Hidden Corral. There's plenty of feed and water for the horses, and for the daring, a few cold swimming holes. Try your hand at fishing in streams throughout the meadow. Our day trips include Dead Horse Pass or Camp Lake. Can't make a wrong choice with those options!

Yellowstone/Bechler (Full)
Union Falls to Dunanda Falls
5-DAY YELLOWSTONE PACK TRIP
July 31 - August 4, 2011

Saddle up and enjoy the ultimate 5-day family horseback vacation riding into the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming horseback adventures don't get any better!

This pack trip takes you to two breathtakingly beautiful waterfalls – Union Falls (left) and Dunanda Falls (below). Union Falls is one of Yellowstone's tallest at 250 feet and one of the most frequently named candidates for "most beautiful." It is a massive, imposing, and gorgeous waterfall. About half a mile before you reach the falls, there is a well worn trail off to your left that goes about ¾ of a mile and ends up at a swimming hole. This hole, containing a small waterfall, is heated by thermal runoff. Not too hot and not too cold, a dip in the water is a refreshing and relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

The first two nights, our campsite will be along the banks of Mountain Ash Creek where you can enjoy a campfire and fishing. From this site we'll day ride on the second day to the waterfall and swimming pool.

Our next two nights, after moving camp to the northeast side of the Bechler Meadow, we will stay in campsite 9B3. Our quiet, quaint camp spot enjoys a peaceful view of the horses grazing in this huge, lush meadow. Fishing in the Bechler River is just a short walk from camp. On our fourth day, we'll ride our horses to the 150 foot Dunanda Falls and soak in hot springs at the base of this beautiful waterfall. A second option might include a ride to Colonade and Iris Falls.

This five-day backcountry horse pack trip in the Bechler Region of Yellowstone National Park is the perfect family vacation, one you won’t ever forget!

There’s no place like the Yellowstone!

Boundary Creek to Union Falls
5-DAY YELLOWSTONE PACK TRIP
August 14-18, 2011

Saddle up and enjoy another ultimate 5-day family horseback vacation riding into the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming horseback adventures don't get any better.

This pack trip is very similar to our July 31st pack trip as it takes you to two breathtakingly beautiful waterfalls – Dunanda and Union Falls. Union Falls is one of Yellowstone's tallest at 250 feet and one of the most frequently named candidates for "most beautiful." It is a massive, imposing, and gorgeous waterfall. About half a mile before you reach the falls, there is a well worn trail off to your left that goes about ¾ of a mile and ends up at a swimming hole. This hole, containing a small waterfall, is heated by thermal runoff. Not too hot and not too cold, a dip in the water is a refreshing and relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

The first two nights, our campsite will be along the banks of Boundary Creek (9A0) after crossing the beautiful meadows of the Bechler. The second day we'll ride our horses to the 150 foot Dunanda Falls and soak in hot springs at the base of this waterfall. We also have the option of riding up above the falls through some beautiful lodge pole forests towards Buffalo Lake.

Our next two nights, after moving camp to Mountain Ash Creek, we'll stay near Union Falls where you can enjoy a campfire and fishing. From this site we'll day ride to the waterfall and swimming pool.

This five-day backcountry horse pack trip in the Bechler Region of Yellowstone National Park is the perfect family vacation, one you won't ever forget!
