WILDERNESS PACK TRIPS
The Adventure of a Lifetime!
Taking a Break in the High Country
As I sit in our Log Cabin looking out at our quiet, snow covered Base Camp that we call home, I look forward to our Summer season and meeting folks from all over the world.
With busy schedules and the daily hustle and bustle of urban & suburban living, I doubt that many of our friends & future friends have had the opportunity to really head to the hills and ‘Unplug’. That’s where we come in, offering a chance to seriously get away from it all, no phones, no computers, no TV ~ just you and your horse. And a few good friends of course!
Heading up the trail for an Adventurous Wilderness Pack Trip!
Just picture yourselves heading up the mountain trails, listening to the sounds of horse hooves clomping along, smelling the purest air imaginable, taking in scenery that will probably bring tears of joy and ear-to-ear smiles and simply getting back to Pioneer basics. All you need to wear are some old jeans, good riding boots and a few layers for the variable mountain weather. No need for labels here except perhaps Wranglers.
My husband Ron, has been riding these mountains for decades and has shared his knowledge and experience both with guests and our Wrangler/Guides. In fact our lead Wrangler will be getting married this summer ~ Pack Trip style ~ way up in the pristine wilderness that is our ‘backyard’!
Majestic Mountains & Meadows surround You!
We keep our rides to small groups ~ 4 to 10 guests ~ in order to provide a great experience and highly personalized service. Riding time varies by day, weather conditions and destination. (There are more details about this on our Pack Trip pages)
We’ve added a ‘new’ 4 Day Pack Trip for this season which heads up to our Camp at Hearts ‘n Diamonds. To get up there takes about 8 hours in the saddle, with a lunch stop along the way. 3 nights will be spent in Camp with plenty of time for enjoying the surrounding area, mountain creek, fishing, wildlife and amazing photography opportunities. Day 4 is up early to pack the horses then head back to Base Camp where we’ll have our famous Cowboy BBQ ready to welcome you ‘home’. Besides, we really enjoy hearing the stories and adventures that were encountered on the trails and from around the campfire!

This 4 Day Hearts ‘n Diamonds trip is perfect for those who might not have enough time for our longer 6 & 10 Day trips. Great Pack Trip for families or friends or even as a corporate team building adventure. Nothing like spending days in the Wilderness to refresh & inspire!
Good Strong Horses for Mountain Climbing!
Our first scheduled Hearts ‘n Diamonds trip will leave here on Sunday, July 11th at 9:00AM and return on Wednesday evening, July 14th. I highly recommend booking early for this exciting 4 Day Pack Trip. Cost for this trip is only $1000 Cdn including tax.

HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU! Laurie McKenzie
