A full service pack trip is an enjoyable way to extend your stay into the wilderness. You will travel by horseback carrying all of the necessary supplies, food, and camp gear on pack animals. From your campsite you have the opportunity to fish, hike, take photos, ride and explore. Each day's ride will take you to some extremely scenic and interesting destinations. Guides/wranglers and cook remain with you throughout your trip. All camping equipment is provided and great tasting family style meals are prepared for you. You'll need only your own sleeping bag and personal gear. (Adjustment in menu can be arranged for guests with special dietary needs. Sleeping bags can be rented.)  These 3 to 5 day trips can be arranged throughout the summer season from our favorite trailheads in the beautiful Gunnison Country. You may be joining other riders and mixing parties to form our group on an itinerary prearranged by your guides. Join our group of adventurers as we ride the pristine high country. (Group size is limited to 8 guests maximum.) 5 day - 4 night trip - $995.00 per person 4 day - 3 night trip - $895.00 per person 3 day / 2 night trip - $695.00 per person 
This is a full service pack trip provided exclusively for your party. Together we will design a trip to meet your needs, interests and physical ability. We can provide a trip for almost any number of people (2 minimum) and for any number of days (2 minimum). Contact us early to obtain the dates desired. 2 people / $255.00 per person per day 3-5 people / $245.00 per person per day 6 or more people / use Wranglers Choice Rates 3. WALKING WRANGLER PACK TRIP: For back country hikers who do not wish to ride horseback, but who want the luxury of a guided trip supported by pack stock, this trip is for you. This is a custom pack trip without the riding horses. You will enjoy your hike by taking the load off of your back and putting it on ours.. 2 people / $180.00 per person per day 3 - 5 people / $160.00 per person per day 6 or more people / $140.00 per person per day 4. REGULAR DROP CAMP: On a drop camp trip you and your gear and food are packed in on horseback. You are left in your camp for a predetermined stay, and at the end of that stay, we will return to pack you back out. You provide your own equipment and food or make arrangements for us to provide it for you. The drop camp fee includes the trip in and out, and you may stay as many days as you wish at no extra charge. These trips are often popular with fishermen. $295.00 per person plus $200.00 per pack horse 5. ONE WAY DROP CAMP: You can plan your trip so that you are packed in on horseback, but hike out with backpacks at the end of your stay. Often much of the trip out is downhill and your packs are lighter. $160.00 per person plus $100.00 per pack horse. 6. HIKING DROP CAMP: Hike and camp in the wilderness without the heavy backpack. We will pack your gear and food in and out for you. Or, pack in one way can be arranged. $400.00 Wrangler fee (one time charge per group) plus $200.00 per pack horse. 7. DAILY TRAIL RIDES: Perhaps you wish to stay in one of the fine resorts, motels, cabins or developed campgrounds in the Gunnison Country and plan daily activities from there. We can provide you with a top quality back- country trail ride for a full day or half day. You may depart from a variety of scenic and challenging trailheads on the Gunnison National Forest. If you wish to spend part of your full day trip trout fishing, we can ride to some productive high mountain lakes, streams and beaver ponds. We do not ride from a stable, but trailer to a trailhead. This is a better ride than you can expect from most stables. All rides must be arranged by reservation. Contact us well in advance. Half Day = $85.00 per Person, Full Day = $160.00 per Person (Includes Sack Lunch) |
