Our weather can be hot, cold, or wet, appropriate attire for the great outdoors and changing weather conditions is a must. Dressing in layers that you can add on or take off is best. All riders are part of a team and need to be able to depend on each other. Everybody helps out and is in charge of his/her own horse and gear.

The pack trip has very limited or no vehicle support. All equipment and food will be transported by pack horses, so pack light! Weight restriction for your luggage is 40lbs.
