Be prepared for the ultimate Horse Pack Trip adventure of a lifetime! You’ll ride into the backcountry like an explorer with pack horses in tow, travelling the mountains in nomadic style. Follow game trails, cross rivers, and enjoy open-air lunches with the world’s best views as you travel on horseback to mountain-top passes, through wide U-shaped valleys with their mosaic of wildflowers, wild hay meadows, and big-game mineral licks. Bring your camera for photo opportunities abound with sweeping vistas, turquoise green glaciers, snow caves, and abundant wildlife including mountain goats, bighorn sheep, mule deer, moose, wolf, grizzly, and black bear. If you love fishing, let us know and we’ll select your camp according to a suitable lake or stream.
Horse Pack Trip Level I
Ride along well-defined horse trails once used by explorers, pioneers, and gold miners. Based from one camp, you’ll ride through flowering alpine meadows and past pristine mountain lakes. Wildlife will greet you along the trail. Loons call to you from the lake. The jingle of horse bells at night, the star-studded skies, and the campfire will round out your horseback camping experience.
Ride deep into the wilderness through unexplored alpine meadows to lofty mountain-top ridges for 360 degree views where mountain goat and bighorn sheep have been seen. By travelling to two or three camps, this trip allows you the opportunity to explore further into the mountains and participate more on the trip, like at camp, by getting involved in taking the horses out to the meadows at night to stake and hobble and learning to pack and throw the diamond hitch. You’ll be sure to take home some wrangler skills.
Horse Pack Trip Level III
Ride deeper into the mountains with new adventures in each alpine basin or mountain pass. Each valley holds new wildlife to view, new meadows to graze the horses, and a new base camp to call home. Witness some of the marvels of the Chilcotin Mountains, like a sow grizzly with four cubs, the vibrant turquoise blue colour of the glacier lakes, and the amazing abilities of the Chilcotin Cayuse horse that negotiates the mountain game trails with the greatest of ease. These trips typically take camp with them and spike camp in any one of the thousand alpine meadows available to you.
Access in and out of camp vary between 3-9 hours and 5-20 km, and includes elevation changes up to 1,000m over uneven terrain. Daily itineraries vary according to the level of the trip and group interests.
