What is your Horse Pack Trip?
Our Pack Trip is for the adventurous type. It is a 7-night trip,
the first and last night are on the lodge property overlooking the
Chilko Rive and the other 5 nights are spent in the alpine. You will
explore valleys that few have even seen. We move our camps by the
aid of packhorses. A guide and a cook will accompany you.
Can a beginner rider join this trip?
Yes. Most of our guests are experienced horse people at some point
in their life but this trip is a slower pace due to the terrain and
packhorses. We are very good at matching you up with the right horse
and you really should take some riding lessons before, just to be
comfortable in the saddle.
What are the group sizes like?
Our Pack Trips take between 4-12, averaging around 9.
Can I come as a single?
Yes. The Pack Trip is great for singles. There is no single supplement
(extra $) on this trip for single travelers. Also, due to the nature
of this trip, everyone feels apart of the group and whether coming
with friends, spouses, partners or alone...it is always great for
everyone!
When do you operate the pack trips?
We normally run our pack trips in the July & August months.
See the Rages page for set dates.
Do you take children on the Pack Trips?
No. It is an adult oriented trip. It is best if all riders are
above 18.
How many hours do we ride during the week?
We normally ride around 34 hours in the saddle. On the Goat Camp
trip there is two days that you could sit out and one day on the Potato
Range Trip. You most likely will not want to though.
What do I wear on these trips?
Whatever is comfortable. Ideally bring: riding pants (jeans or
jodpurs), long-sleeve shirts, layered clothing, cowboy hat or riding
helmet, riding boots and a rain suit to tie onto your saddle. We will
send you a list of clothing to bring after reserving the dates.
