The TripsWe have been in the outfitting business since 1978. Our outfit remains quite small, taking only four or five rides per year. We offer a professional and well organized mountain ride which will take you to the heart and into the history of the magnificent Chilcotin wild country. You will be amazed at what can be cooked up over a campfire, impressed at the big skies and deep silences, and feel safe and well taken care of on our surefooted mountain horses. Many of our guests have very limited or no riding experience at all to start out with, but that has never been a problem. We are careful to go through basic riding techniques and safety precautions with every rider before leaving the ranch. The safety of our guests is top priority.
We will have at least one (usually two) experienced wranglers with us. Most often your head wrangler will be an immediate member of the family and have many years of experience in the mountains and with horses as well.
Our trips are normally between seven and ten days long. Our maximum number of guests per ride is eight. We strongly encourage you to put your own groups together but of course that is not always possible and not a problem as we can usually fill rides up.
There are no pre-set camps. We take everything with us on the pack horses as we go along and like to spend two days at each camp, as time permits. This allows the riders the freedom to do as they like on camp day, choosing if and how far they will ride. However, guests rarely choose to stay behind as the scenery is spectacular and the chance to see Mountain Caribou is virtually guaranteed. Our park is home of one of the largest herds in North America. Other game you are likely to see include Moose, Deer, Black and Grizzly Bear, Mountain Goats, Coyotes, Wolves, Marmots, Ptarmigan and Bald Eagles. And as if that isn't enough, the alpine flowers are stunning at certain times of the year and the fishing is excellent. It truly is a photographer's and hiker's paradise! The majority of our riding time is spent up above alpine, coming down into the timber for sheltered camps and good horse feed.
